Does anyone have plans for constructing a 2 meter/ 70 cm Dual band Beam?
Any
help would be appreciated.

I've seen a quad set up for dual bands.
The elements for the 70 cm band are so small, they don'r interefere with the
2m band

How about the 2M elements being seen by the 70cM elements- close to
resonant at 3 wavelengths circumference?

But the opposite may not be true since 444/3=148.

L.B. Cebik has an article on a dual band quad. He uses element
placement to reduce interaction between the 2m and 70 cm elements.

Sure. Mount the elements for one band at right angles to those for the
second band.
