This talk about end fed halfwaves reminded me of the Fuchs antenna, which is the multi-band variant of the end fed halfwave. A 40m length of wire acts as a multiple of 1/2 wave on all bands from 80-10 metres
i.e. = 1x halfwave on 80M = 2x halfwave on 40M = 3x halfwave on 30M etc etc A shorter 20m wire can be used on 40, 20, 15 and 10.. The DL QRP club used to supply a kit for the tuning section which also had an inbuilt LED SWR indicator. The whole set-up (including wire) would fit in your pocket, and it made a great QRP portable set-up.
