[Elecraft] Portable Antennas (Is there an "easy" button?)

[Bernie KF0QS]

Dear Folks:

I have a K2/10 (#6922) and a K1 (#1024).  I have used the latter in the
field, and hope to use both portable.  I have a Buddi-Pole setup, but am
annoyed at how long it takes to set up.  I am wondering if you folks have a
suggestion for a really easy portable antenna setup.  Anyone?

As a corollary to that question, I hear people say they just "toss a wire up
in a tree".  Both of my Elecraft rigs have the ATU's installed, and so,
could I just use a wire?  I am contemplating getting some fine gauge wire
(#24?) and soldering a 40 foot length to the positive pole of a BNC
connector and a similar length to the shield.  What do you guys think?

73 de Bernie, KF0QS
