Mar 25, 2014 at 8:32 comment added user @Optionparty I believe you are reading the question wrong. It's not "multiple wavelengths" as in "works equally well on a number of different frequencies", but rather "multiple wavelengths" as in "the physical size of the antenna is several wavelengths at the operating frequency". This interpretation is supported by the accepted answer being what it is. Is that the reason for your original comment?
Mar 24, 2014 at 15:15 comment added user @Optionparty How does "Discone antenna" answer the question "is a multiple-wavelengths antenna possible"?

Dec 21, 2013 at 15:50 comment added user @PhilFrost Something like e.g. this one (a 5.1 meters long vertical antenna giving you a specified 8.5 dBi on 144 MHz and 11.9 dBi on 432 MHz; the web page is in Swedish, but the data should be understandable enough and there is a picture for illustration). I've seen plenty of similar constructions.

Dec 21, 2013 at 12:23 comment added Phil Frost - W8II @MichaelKjörling precisely what orientation and stacking do you have in mind for that statement?

Better title and tags; copy-editing
Dec 20, 2013 at 19:17 comment added user Well, length, I doubt it. Size, yes, absolutely. A high-gain antenna is much more practical at 23 cm than at 20 meters simply because the physical dimensions are smaller. Stacked dipoles can provide you with vertical gain and horizontal omnidirectionality; this is reasonably practical on two meters, and very practical on 70 cm and up.
