Topband: Portable transmit antenna suggestions?

[List Mail]

I’m also interested to follow this discussion, as I’ll be activating two VK9 entities later this year. My experience is with  Inverted-L antenna, on Norfolk Island we used a big Norfolk Island Pine tree for support, and Mellish Reef an 18 m SpiderPole, which both worked well.

My group is planning a Caribbean trip next year for one of the CW contests.  If anyone has some ideas on design or deployment of temporary antennas for DX (160m or any low band actually), it would be helpful as we are in early planning.  If you have done this before, luggage is the preferred method to bring on the trip.  Please feel free to comment directly to me if you feel that bandwidth is not appropriate for this group.  Thanks.
