If you want a multiband hf antenna, but lack a "tuner" to bring swr under control, then please try this "fan dipole" design from Chuck Thompson (KK6USY).
Chuck takes us through the design, construction, testing, and use of this simple, effective antenna. A fan dipole antenna is suitable for both home station and portable use.

Here are some comments from Chuck (KK6USY):
The Fan Dipole is one of the Best portable wire antennas if you don't have a tuner! In this video I show what I used and how I assembled a fan dipole antenna for portable use on POTA or SOTA activations. Then I show how I deploy the antenna in the field.
