I have a 40 meter inverted v antenna.Can I add a 10 meter v to the same feed point with out having a antenna tuner?

Why not?

Google things like parallel dipole or fan dipole
I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
I have a 3 band inverted V dipole (40,20,10, meter) fed with 50 ohm coax at the feed point operating without an antenna tuner.It's been up about 4 years now with no problems ........ works very well! :)Originally Posted by kk4fpx
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt! :roll:

Yep, it'll work. It's called a fan dipole and you can include one for 20m or other bands in there as well. Just be sure you leave adequate space between the different antenna elements so they don't interact with each other. I can't remember the recommended distance but it should be easy enough to look up in the ARRL Antenna Book, something I recommend you buy. There's enough in there to keep you experimenting with antennas for the rest of your life if you're so inclined.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I forgot to use the word fan in my search.Found severay good sites.Thanks!
A spacing of at least 4 hectares should do it.

Hectare is a unit of area, Hector. You're thinking of furlongs, I think.

Yes, I will be thinking of hectares, but not furlong.

We're hams, aren't we supposed to measure in cubits?

If you use balanced feed line and a link coupled tuner you need only cut it for 160, 75, or 40 and you'll be good to go on 20, 15, and 10. case and point, my inverted vee doublet) is cut for 75/80 metres and via the tuner it tunes, loads and performs great on 75, 40, 20, 15 and 10.
But if you want to go with a coax fed and no tuner you can do a fan dipole or something similar.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
