[Elecraft] Upcoming Vacation and my K2

[Haines Brown]

Doug suggests a SuperAntennas yagi, and I was thinking of a couple
Iron Horse whips end to end to make a dipole for some lower bands, but
the problem is, how do you get these things sufficiently high up in
the air? A beach location suggests there are no trees, and the
airplane trip would seem to eliminate the possibility of a
tower. Helium baloons or kites seem impractical.

Wouldn't the only option be a vertical, such as the MP-2, or perhaps a
collapsable (and thus more portable) magnetic loop such as the one by
Antenna Engineering DL4KCJ?
