Below is A drawing of A fan dipole designed for 4 bands. You should be able to achieve A match on all 4 bands with mono band performance. I was able to tune it on all bands With A good bandwidth.

Start with the longest element first, achieve A good match on it then work your way to the shortest. The spaceing of the wires is not criticle. You can make spacers from any insulator.

You can use A tuner fo all bands from 40-10, this is A much better performer than A g5rv or trap type dipole. Ideally 75 ohm twinlead would be best but coax will work fine.

I have found that this antenna out performs all that I have tryed for swl listening.

The lenghts below are approximate.
