[Elecraft] "Quick & Dirty" Antenna?

[kb4utz@bellsouth.net]

Good morning,

I'm going to be taking a group of high schoolers camping later this week (at the Great Smokies National Park) and was thinking about taking along the K2. However, I haven't yet built an antenna to take along on camping trips (my trips are usually in a Coleman pop-up or tents... this is going to be a "tents" trip). I also don't have much free time between now and when we leave on the trip so I can't devote much time to fabricating the antenna. So...

Are there any suggestions as to what would be a "quick and dirty" antenna that I could fabricate and take on the trip? Perhaps a end-fed long wire? If so, how long, etc., etc.? ... Other than putting up a G5RV my experience with other types of antennas is pretty much nil.

Thanks!

... Kirby

P.S. My K2 has the KAT2, internal battery, etc.
