Think innovation. Remove or move a segment of a certain element design and you've modified the resonant frequency. With things I have in my barn I could design and build a turnstile with tunable elements. Think trombone with specific markings. Broadband antennas by design need be larger than an antenna designed for a specific segment. From everything I know about antenna design, this is NOT a deal breaker.
