[Elecraft] KX-1 what do you use for an antenna when you're in a place with no trees to throw the vertical up?

Thanks to all that responded.  The general consensus is that using the
buddistick, pac-12 or some other version of coil and shorter vertical is
not as effective as simply getting up as high as possible with a
vertical wire antenna and radial/counterpoise.  Other than the tree,
most have suggested a telescopic pole made of fiberglass and there are
several on the market.   They will need to be supported with guy lines.
I have used a 28 foot vertical.  The 32 would be ideal I would guess as
the next smallest is 22 ft.  

Thanks again
