Default Why are there no dual band 20M / 30M antenna designs?

I have never seen a design for a trap diople or similar dual band antenna

are all either the normal bands or the WARC bands but not both with the

exception of lossy resistively loaded wide band antennas or rhombics. Has

anyone tried this combination?

Add a parasitic 20 meter element to a 30 meter dipole. Works for me.
