Hi, Bob:

I'm good, really too good ;o) at mis-writing, dag nab it, and I forgot that
15M wasn't a ham band when Lattin was working on the patent for this kluge.
IIRC, the design was for 4, not 5, bands: 10-20-40-80M, with single wires at
D. Accepting that, and re-writing just the C-stub function ...

SNIP
If the dimensions are added up, the overall physical length approaches
that
of an 80M dipole. "Loading-effect" of the "fat-wire" dipole could be
helped
along if needed on 80M by additional wire length past A.

The A-stubs reduce the electrical lengths each side to overall
40M-dipole-size.

Ditto B-stubs on 20M.

******rewrite*** Ditto C-stubs on 10M. ******rewrite******

Changing the D-lengths to single wires, or shorting both inner ends,
completes the 10M-dipole section.

SNIP

... should do it.

Imagine adding 60-30-17-15-12M to this kluge.

Lattin's patent was 2535298.

Lattin (W4JRW) mentions in his December 1960 QST article that any of
his "decoupling stub" antennas that include 40 meters will also work
on 15 meters.

A quote from the article:

"Any of the antennas which will operate on 40M can also be used on 15M
as the 40M stubs will be approx. 3/4 wavelength long and will provide
decoupling."
