When i go on a trip and can't take much with me, i use an antenna which is
the half of a multi band dipole for 20/15/10. The other side is made of
three legs as counterpoise, the legs trimmed to length for each band. The
whole thing is very small, lightweight and much easier to set up vertically
than a normal dipole.
Doesn't need a balun either.
