Jouko.......you might try to GOOGLE:

"lattin antenna"

That may lead you to useful information.

Yes Lee, Google found quite a lot of hits, but they all refer to one 5band
antenna design with no much
real information. So my question still remains open. Could some modelling
program give the answer?
I think those two alternatives differ at least in how much inductive loadind
they are causing to the lower frequency
and so shortening the total length of antenna.

Hi Jouko OH5RM

Yes modeling can give an answer:
NO

It does not work.
