Mike,

Trust you are keeping well.

I use an HF multiband quad on the LF bands by using the quad and feeder 
fed against ground using an ATU.
This arrangement also works on 500kHz with a gain of aproximately 
-20dBi. This setup would be no good on 136kHz
It works fine on receive but I havent tried it with a transmitter as yet 
but I feel confident that it would work with the current ERP restrictions..
I have a photos of the antenna and the ATU plus an analysis plot of 
matching using the AIM1740.
Are you interested?

Peter, G3LDO
