Richard,

Two properly spaced and phased radiators are all that is necessary for a 
2 element beam - two Alexloops, 2 verticals, two dipoles, etc.
While setup in 2 minutes may not be practical at 20 meters, it is 
practical at 2 meters, and you may even devise something that looks like 
an umbrella.  Think of the Hex Beam - 2 elements that sort of look like 
an inverted umbrella.
