Yes, but the 75 meter is a dipole and the other are just half wave wires 
for 80, 40, an 30.  Got a beam to handle 20, 15, and 10.

No cage spreaders.  I just hung the centers of the wires from the center 
of the dipole and spaced them about six inches below the one above and 
so on.  All wires in inverted vee.  End terminations determine ultimate 
spacing.  When the wind blows hard the wires flop around a little and 
the swr  varies some but not so much that it is a problem.
