This multiband wire antenna it is an off centre fed dipole, with 10 feet of vertical radiator, needs no tuner on 40m, 20m and 10m and works fine on all bands above 40m with a tuner, and even below 40m on 60m, and 80m.

The Double Bazooka Dipole is a very efficient single band antenna which is very quite, and does not require the use of a balun. This antenna consists of coax (RG58) or other 50 ohm type with the shield split at the center and the feedline attached to the open ends

Multiband Center-Loaded Off-Center-Fed Dipole (CL-OCFD) antenna that work on 80m 40m 30m 20m 15m 10m. The Center-Loaded Off-Center-Fed Dipole (CL-OCFD) antenna, developed by Serge Stroobandt, offers a versatile solution for amateur radio enthusiasts, covering multiple HF bands (80, 40, 30, 20, 15, and 10 meters) without the need for an antenna tuner. This innovative design utilizes a capacitor for resonance on the 80-meter band and a resistor to manage static charges. The CL-OCFD enhances bandwidth and simplifies operation, making it a significant advancement on OCF Dipole design.
