I have made a "universal" antenna with the DK9SQ mast, my "Unitenna". She  
works good from 40m to 10m.
See details at <http://www.dl2wrj.de/ant/unitenne_e.html>
With a 4:1 balun and the vy good K2-ATU I can reach a SWR near 1:1 on all  
bands. Also my K1 tunes this antenna without a problem. I have worked many  
dx with good reports with this antenna on my portable activities.
