What makes you think that a 40M SPLIT DIPOLE,
Linearly Loaded, will exhibit a resonance on 15M?
That may be true for a CONTINUOUS, SELF resonant
full size 40M element (that is gamma or T-matched)
but NOT for a split and loaded element. In fact, the
exact resonace can be moved around by changing
the length and termination on the feedline.
