I have a question for the collective out there.  What is your favorite antenna 
to take to the field or backyard.  I won't be hiking deep into the woods, but 
would like to hear what you have found to be a good balance between ease of use 
and effectiveness as an antenna.
I have used a W3EDP with good success, but an outing on the AT Trail with my 
KX-1 last Saturday shows that 80 plus feet of wire is a challenge to get into 
the trees.  I have heard many combinations of wire antenna lengths and 
counterpoises, but I would like some input on what your experiences have 
determined to be your favorite combination.  Obviously, the band(s) of choice 
and location of choice could go with the favorite antenna of choice.
The featured rig of choice here is the KX-1, but I also have a K1 and K2 that 
get out to play once in a while.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and insights.
tnx es 73
Tom, K4TJD
