Topband: Portable transmit antenna suggestions?

[Harald Rester]

I have the 26m pole top loaded for 160m, which also supports a 17m
vertical section for a 80m Inv-L. Strong winds here as well, but never
problems the last 6 years.

I was able to erect a 60’ pole to make a top loaded 160 meter antenna by myself.  I think they are a great product.  Proper buying is required, of course.
