Does anyone know of a super light weight 6M antenna for a light weight DXpedtion?  (hopefully it's OK to ask here)

I'm thinking along the lines of a sub-5 lb class of antenna that might fit into luggage.  This is my honeymoon, so no KW, no monster antennas, and minimal operating time.  

I see that Hex-beam has a real light weight antenna.  And maybe Dunestar's 2 ele quad.  Are there any other options?  Or maybe someone has built a super light weight yagi out of shock-corded tent poles?  

Outrageous location on Saba in early July.  One thought is to lay a wire yagi on the deck...

Many thanks, Kenny K2KW
