Hi Owen. You are going to have to make a pair of antennas like the Outbacker type of antennas, with taps for each band. It can be done but will be a real time consuming project. I would look into using a pair of matching Outbacker antennas as a dipole. I do not know how much the antennas cost in the UK, but you may be able to use these and get better results faster than by trying to build them. I know that the winter is coming on and I know how your weather can get nasty. This might save you some time. If you do use these antennas, be sure that you mount the plugin connections down so that water will not get into the antenna.
