[Antennas] help with temporary mobile hf installation

Gary, for multiple bands I would go with an Outback if possible. Either the
full size or the Stealth. You need a multiple magnet mount to hold them. If
you don't mind changing the antenna when you change bands you could go with
the Haystacks or Iron Horse Antennas for each specific band. Hustler, Comet
and Diamond also make antennas with interchangeable resonators making band
changes simpler. Unfortunately all choices run into a little money.
