I'd have to total it up, but I probably made close to 1,000 contacts with an EFHW and KX1 last year. The whole antenna system, including the 38 foot fishing pole and tuner, weighs about 1.5 pounds. Of course, it doesn't work as well as a high, full-sized antenna, but if anyone can come up with one that works better and doesn't weigh more, I'd like to hear about it!

Or, for those of you that are thinking the situation isn't so hopeless,
grab your portable antenna, head out to the campsite, throw your wire up in
the tree and I'll catch you on the air. Let's warm up the worms.
