Of course there will be spiking patterns on the upper bands.
However, I heard/read time and again about hams wanting a single antenna with a good SWR across the HF spectrum and no tuner.
Many have claimed the EFHW multiband is such an antenna. It is not. It's good for about 4 bands, everything else is only useful with a tuner.
I made and remade 49:1, 64:1, 56:1, transformers looking for what I was doing wrong, only to eventually learn that I was doing nothing wrong, the EFHW just wasn't as good as its reputation.
I read about Terminated Endfed inverted Vee antenna. I'm not dumb, I realize the weaknesses of such an antenna system. I also know the it is the only true no tuner antenna type broad spectrum HF 160m to 10m system.
One exists, and this is it.
Someone who more than likely has never built one will puff their great chest out, dig into the vast depths of their scientific mind and say, "even a dummy load gets a good SWR on all bands". DUH
The obvious, and the stupidest thing a true ham will say.
Dummy loads don't make contacts hundreds to thousands of miles away.
So, miss the point, and you'll not get it.
That's okay, too.
Get the one and only simple point of posting this antenna and you now know that there exists a single antenna that covers 160m to 10m without the need of a tuner.
