I am not that familiar with the XM240 but I would guess the elements may
already be close to resonant on 30m if you omit the center loading coils.
It is super easy to redesign it into a 50 ohm feed 30m Yagi with AutoEZ

I have a bunch of Cushcraft 40-2CD XM240 elements hanging around.  Could 
the elements be shortened to work on 30m?  They all have coils and a 
capacitance hat as expected.

  The boom would also need to be shortened a bit.
