You can connect all at once. The ones for the band you are on will be resonant where the others will not.

Good Day Everyone, I was noodling around some KX1 topics on Nabble and found this posting by W2XS from 7/08: "For 40, 30, and 20 meters, I use a 42-foot wire with a large nut on the end. The wire is thrown over a tree branch. A Pomona BNC-to-Bindng Posts adaptor is used. Three counterpoise wires cut to one quarter wave for each band (approx. 33', 23', and 16.5') are connected to the ground binding post." My question is whether *all three* counterpoises are attached to the binding post *at once*, or is he talking about changing the out the counterpoise as he changes bands? I've been using a one-size-fits-all counterpoise and was wondering if I've missed something basic and very useful.
