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..
