I'm no longer in a QTH where I can put up a tower, or for that matter, any
antenna. So I am planning on doing some operating when we camp out.
I'm looking at a multi-band vertical that can be attached to the tent camper
tongue framework (temporarily). I want the antenna to cover 40-10 mtrs, easily
set up and take dpown and can be collpsed to roughly 6 ft sections. The old 14
AVQ would be pwerfect but is no longer made.
Any ideas?

Pricy, but not as pricy as a $2,500 prop pitch rebuild. Being silicone-based,
the sheet should hold up for a very long time. Check other sources for better
pricing.

P.S.
The sheet overlap is held together with Dow Corning 736 heat-resistant RTV
sealant.
