See my Feb 2014 QST Hands-On Radio column about the Extended Double 
Zepp.  It will work as an EDZ on 20 and 15 for sure and can be loaded up 
on 80-10 with a tuner, maybe 160 as well.  To broaden the pattern and 
get better coverage off the ends, put it up as an inverted-vee.  You'll 
have to model it and/or tweak the matching open-wire section to 
accommodate the drooping ends.  A pair at right angles is even better.
