John,
Have you considered a smaller tri-bander such as the old Cushcraft ATB-34 or a
Hexbeam? These are small footprint, great performing antennas that may fill
the bill for you. Good luck in your quest.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Converting a tribander to a dualbander
Is it possible to take the typical triband yagi and shorten it some to use
it only on 15 and 10m if you are limited on space? I guess this would
involve removing the element ends that are beyond the second trap on each
side. Has anyone tried this? Is it possible to do? I do remember reading
about someone converting the 20m portion to 17m instead by shortening the
element ends.
