For wire antennas, check out the September 1984 issue of "Amateur Radio" article titled "Wire Antennas".

I use the one on page 17 under "My Recommendations" A. Multiband General purpose array.

Thanks Damien, 

Unless I am reading it wrong, that multiband array looks a lot like a variant of the G5RV.  The total length is 25m compared to the ZS6BKW variant's 28m and the original G5RV length of 30m. The feeder length is  12.5m compared to 11.7m for the ZS and 10.3m for Louis' original design.    So it is, in effect, shortening the length of the horizontal component and lengthening the vertical component of the ladder line.

The smaller 3m in total length would be helpful but I only have 14m below the midpoint for the feeder to hang so @ 12.5m in length it means the transition to coax is happening at head height which isn't ideal!
