I assume that one would drive it 3/4 wavelength out of phase. A quick simulation shows a few nulls, but they're pretty narrow, and I'll they wouldn't be all that deep on a "real" antenna, particularly if you had some slop in the phasing. However, I think the "real" solution is to optimize the system, just like you do for a multiband yagi. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
