Received the kit for the Multiband Fuchs antenna from QRP porjects in Germany. The English manual explains how it tunes a half wavelength at the lowest band to operate effectively on higher bands. So a 41m length of wire can be used from 80 - 10 metres.
"Tuning is very easy. The first step is, to find the point of maximum noise / loudest signal in receive. Now with a small transmitter signal, the link is switched to lowest SWR. Ready. The FUCHS is equipped with an output indicator. Only at the point of resonance, the LED glows."
