I use a motorized ScrewDriver antenna on 160-6m, not kidding!

1) Some use these as is at their home qth...they are slower to tune than
an auto tuner but do a dantastic job as a vertical.

2) I believe the motorized coil idea could be used for numerous multiband
Horizontal plane antennas with a little creativity. 

One fellow uses two of them base-to-base, Horizontally like a dipole,
tuning each leg simultaneously with the other.

3) Additionally, I would use a bunch of wire-type quagies for gain &
directionality for field days!
They are easy to build & light to get into the air.
