I'm using an Alpha Delta DX-CC multiband dipole, which has worked well for me. It is resonant on 10,20,40,80 meters. Each of the elements (except 80), is just a wire dipole cut for the frequency. I haven't actually measured the elements, but I'm assuming they're close to standard dipole lengths.
I've been using a tuner to get 12,15, 17, and 30 meters, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried making a similar antenna with elements added that are cut for those frequencies? I've been thinking of trying to mod the antenna and adding the elements for the appropriate band. However, some of those frequencies (12,15,17,20) start to get a little close to each other. If I start adding wires, do you think the closer bands' elements will affect each other? I'd kinda like to know if this is worth trying before I go through the trouble of pulling down the antenna.
