Charles,

I got a Minuteman vertical on close out at local ham store.  It is still
available I think on web.  (Google the name) it has pvc mast and base and is
for 20 and up.  It has partly a telescoping whip top section.  Worked great
last year on a QRP outing in so so propagation.

You could easily home brew your own.  I suggest grey pvc for solar
resistance.  That is what they used.

Radial kit comes with it and is simply hook up wires, 3 each.

72,
