Default "Fan" Full Wave Loops?

"---can have a full wave 49 meter loop inside a full wave 80 meter
loop---?"

Bill Orr, W6SAI wrote a book, "All About Cubical Quad Antennas". One
topic is "Concentric Quad Antennas" starting on page 49. Bill Orr says:
"Interaction between the antennas of a two-band Quad is quite low."
Orr suggests separate feedlines for each antenna and making feedline
lengths odd multiples of a 1/4-wave so that the open-circuit of the
unused feedline will appear as a short-circuit at its antennas resonant
frequency at its feedpoint. Thus the unused assembly won`t likely
respond much at other frequencies.
Of course, antennas have a second resonance at about double their first
resonant frequency. Having the open end of the unused feedline
available, one could deliberately detune the second antenna to reduce
interaction.
