Portable 40m to 10m Inverted V Antenna used by W2XS Jackite 31-foot pole and ground mount (or, bungee-cord it to a table or deck railing):
http://www.jackite.com/product_info.php?products_id=132 Coleman camping reel. Buy 4 of them. Use two for the antenna wire (I use 33 feet on each side but you can 22 feet and above for 40m to 10m). Use the other two as ropes to secure the antenna ends to the ground stakes. Walmart, etc., sells these things. http://www.mysimon.com/9015-11034_8-30962052.html Two tent stakes to secure the rope ends: http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=7310&storeId=226&catalogId=40000000226 300-ohm twin lead for the feed line. I bought 50 feet from Radio Shack. I use a small piece of Plexiglas for the center insulator with a small hole drilled in it. I use a twist-tie to secure it to the ring on the top section of the pole. I have also used a small PVC pipe coupling section from the local hardware store. BLT Tuner (or equivalent set up. I use the K2 internal tuner and a BL1 balun): http://www.qrpkits.com/norcal_blt.htm It works very well on 40m to 10m.
