I did something similar at our club's annual QRP nite last fall. K2 and 
auto tuner, 5 watts to a piece of wire taped to that nice DK9 pole, more 
wire as a counterpoise sort of laying on the ground. As many Q's on 30m at 
5 watts as I wanted, but I let the radio rest while others with inferior 
receivers could have stab at it. 

A bit later, I heard a pileup for someone sort of rare in the Carribean, 
and worked him after about a dozen calls.
