The EFHW looks pretty similar in terms of matching on the full wave frequency (EFFW?) too. That is, it's purely resistive and a couple thousand ohms. Actually a little lower on the higher band but not much. I use the same matcher for both bands. So it's a good dual band antenna.
My field QRP efforts the past few years have been on 40 and 20 meters. I use a single 66 foot long EFHW on both 40 and 20. It works quite well. Also, my radiator is #22 or maybe #24 AWG Teflon insulated wire. 73- Nick, WA5BDU " First, a multi-band antenna cannot be a “end-fed half wave” on all bands. only on one band, as far as I know. I’ve read many articles about “end-fed half wave” antennas over the years, and they have always been single band antennas with special matching circuits to tune them, and most have agreed that when they are a half wave on the frequency used, a counterpoise or radial is not required.
