[Milsurplus] Need TCS antenna advice

[B. Smith]

For a demo I would keep things simple.    KISS    String out a half wave 
piece of wire for the antenna . Have another half wave piece of wire for 
standby as a counter poise that you can alter the length on by winding it up 
or unwinding. The TCS should have no problem loading this system without the 
tuner.

I have volunteered to show my operational TCS-8 system at an upcoming ARRL 
San Francisco Section annual convention at the Ferndale Fairgrounds 8 days 
from now (pitch, pitch). My question: what's a decent (AKA: quick up/down) 
antenna system I could use to work 40 or 20? I have found few details about 
the antenna this rig was designed to drive beyond a "low Z, 20 foot whip". I 
think folks would get a kick If I can get it up and running.

PS: anyone have a spare ATU they would care to part with? Even just the 92 
uH coil would be fine. Save me some coil winding.
