anyone have a good ideia to build a multiband wire antena?


My "secret antenna" is the Windom.

44 feet (13m) of wire on one side, 88 feet (26m) on the other side, fed
in the center with a 4:1 balun. (many hams use some flat twinlead
between the feedpoint and the balun, allowing the balun to be fastened
to a pole or something to avoid the physical straing at the feedpoint)

Works without a tuner on 80, 40, 20, and 10 meters, and with the
autotuner on most rigs on 15. And it's effective. And easy to build!
