Why wait till you get there? This is a trail friendly radio ! i use a 10 foot whip with a top hat on it. No loading coils. The whip sits in my rear pocket and i use a drag wire for a counterpoise while hiking along. i have worked : Foxes, USA, Costa Rica, Latvia, Estonia, Canada, Virgin Island, New Zealand, Macedonia on 20M and Belize on 40M with my Elecraft KX1 (3W) on the 10 foot whip.
