Fair enough, but it kinda goes without saying that in a group FD with 1 station per band they'll use resonant, single-band antennas. If this is our best argument against the 'multiband dipole', then that antenna still holds its own pretty well in a multitude of other situations.
I have always found a deep resistance and opposition to this antenna. Whether it's an unwillingness to use antenna tuners, which many hams have, or an undue fear of noise, which some hams have, or a belief that open-wire line is noisier/weirder/harder/impossible-to-go-through-walls, which many hams believe, the visceral reaction against this antenna always amazes and baffles me. Please forgive my belligerence... the Dodgers lost and I've been in a sour mood all day.
