On a similar vein... I've seen in the past an antenna that used to be a common 'emergency' antenna. I cant remember the name or dimensions, so hopefully someone can understand my description and point me to additional information. The mult-band antenna is similar to a 3 wire fan dipole, but

[Elecraft] Multi-band (Fan) Dipoles

I am always amazed how some have so much difficulty making dipole antennas. With multi-band dipoles (or Fans as it is being called here), tuning of one dipole interacts with the tuning of other ones. It is not too bad with harmonically related bands as the non-resonant reactance isolates the
