Actually, for a dual band to one feed, you can probably just
interleave the elements of a 2m and 70cm beam on the same boom and
connect the driven elements in parallel.

http://www.arrowantennas.com/ look at the model 146/437... they have
plans on the site to build it yourself. While they have a filter box
available, I'm not sure you actually need it.

Except most of these designs don't work well. The problem is that the
2m elements really mess up what you're trying to do on 70.

There are ways to deal with it. One is that you tilt the elements
forward and use them for both bands. Old trick.
