So far 58 readers got a good chuckle out of this question
I take it this is an April fools question?
Isn't the point of OCF such that you can operate on all harmonically related frequencies above the fundamental whereas with a 1/2 wave dipole you only get odd harmonic frequencies (coax feed)? You can also run it as I do at 1/2 the fundamental as it acts like a top loaded vertical.

Hi Jim
Long story. One OCF is "optimized" for only 80 and 40 meters, the second
OCF is "optimized" for 40, 20, 10 and 6 meters. A friend designed them
and had offered to give me a pair to try out; all assembled, ready to put
up, feedline and baluns included. His contention is that many
designs give up optimum performance when trying for as many bands as
possible coverage. I was just musing if I could get away with one feedline
and balun; I guess modeling would be the way to go.
My "real" antenna will be a 100 foot dipole fed with homemade 6" open
wire line. Problem is I am running out trees and pulleys on the tower
