    Fan Loop?

    Ok, guys. I always ask my antenna questions over on the other site, so I figured I'd give you guys a chance to answer one. I am planning on putting up an 80 meter loop skywire antenna. It's a full wave horizontal loop fed with 450 ohm ladderline. I got to thinking the other day that maybe I could create a loop within a loop type of antenna. The outside loop would be a full wave on 80 meters; the next loop, inside that 80m loop, would be a full wave 40 meter loop; and then the third loop would be a full wave 20 meter loop. If you look at the antenna from the top, it would look like three squares inside of each other, with a single feed point set up the way they set up fan dipoles. Are ya getting the picture? How do you think this would work?
