[Antennas] Need Ideas

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

Do you have any trees?

To copy another: the "twin-lead J-Pole" aka "roll-up-J-Pole" would be almost 
weightless and very tiny. How big is a rolled up piece 300 ohm twin lead 4 
or 5 ft long with a connector. Best use of this is to find a rock and tie it 
to your string, throw it over the highest branch you have available, and 
pull the roll-up J-Pole up. Take a 50 ft coax with to get from the 
up-in-the-tree antenna to your campsite and radio.
