[TowerTalk] Good vacation antenna

[john at kk9a.com]

The Force 12 Sigma 40XK is a vertical dipole in the shape of a sideways H
that covers 10m-40m.  The band changes are slow, it involves changing
loading coils and changing tip lengths however it is a very good design and
it works well of you can find one or homebrew something similar.

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?
