Mark,

There are nested poles that collapse to a bit more than a foot in length for backpackers and SOTA ops.  I don't have a link handy, but if you look around the QRP and SOTA sites you'll probably find them.  They come in various extended lengths--probably not inexpensive, though...

You'll probably find ideas and gadgets for quick release antenna supports and such.  The goals of the field QRP and SOTA ops are close to yours--fast set up and tear down..
