A dummy load presents a good match.  It just doesn't get out well.

Trying to have one antenna do 160-6 meters is just too much if you care about
getting out.  One antenna can do a fair job on two bands, sometimes, three if
done right.  But if you expect to have more than a dummy load on multiple bands,
you need to plan on having multiple antennas.
