Given a small one or two man DXpedition
to a tree-less location ,  what vertical antenna
would be serviceable to install ?  Not too
difficult to transport , and survive big winds?

top loaded, bottom loaded vertical say
40 ft tall ?  Any ideas for ULTRA lightness?

Any feedback would be useful -

One destination might be a very WINDY
zone 2 install .

Although not qualifying for the Brain Trust, may I suggest the Titanex  V160
E.
In comes in 2m lengths so it is easy to transport  - just like skies.
But despite that the manufacturer specifies 3 sets of guys, you need 4 to
keep it up in strong winds, in my experience.
