Hello gentlemen,

I'm considering one antenna for domestic - continental contacts. I'm curious about all pros and cons of this construction and possible pitfalls. That is a fan dipole having three wires. Something like here http://www.hamuniverse.com/multidipole.html One wire is for 7100kHz, another for about 3800kHz and third for 3550kHz. My idea is to have two bands covered in full. Is there anyone who has had experience with fan dipoles? What should I keep in mind before starting to build? Yes, tuning perhaps will not be very simple, but hopefully I will manage.
How far apart wires should be? 10in OK?
Should all center conductor legs go to the same side or vary left - right - left

This will be low hanging antenna 10-15m. For DX contacts there will be another antenna.

Thank you
Vytenis LY5T
