All multi-band antennas are a compromise. The only "all band antenna"

But the isotropic radiator doesn't exist. It's a theoretical construct.

The best all band antenna I used was in my novice days... A 100 watt
light bulb on the end of a pair roughly 33 foot wires strung up
through a tree... Worked a dozen states one afternoon on 15 and 40,
then worked the locals on 80 that night... The Knightkit T-100 loaded
up just fine on that all band antenna... I don't think it was
isotropic, but it sure did blink when being keyed.. The neighbors
came over wondering why it was Christmas in September.... That was
cycle 19... What a great time we had...
