Two picture examples are on the bottom of my QRZ page. 1. Just a wire up into the beach umbrella and over to a 16 foot fiberglass pole,with my counterpoise. South Carolina Ocean beach.
2.walking along Grismey Island, in the arctic circle with a mfj whip and counterpoise dragging. Too bad nobody in EU I worked cared about IOTA.

Thanks Steve kb1chu It's really a question of how portable you want to be. Do you want to travel super-light but you've got the luxury of time to set-up? Or do you want to be able to make contacts when stopped just for a minute or two? Or do you want to work QSOs while pedestrian/bicycle/equestrian/etc. mobile? For my KX2 I use everything from an MFJ multi-band pocket whip, a couple of pieces of non-resonant-length wire, a magnetic loop, to a 26ga. 20m/40m/80m dipole I deploy on a 10m fiberglass pole. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
