At the risk (or opportunity :-)) of insulting your memory... Don't 
forget that the BC Special has a substantial 40 meter capability.  No 
directivity, but if weight becomes the overriding concern, and you're 
taking it anyway,  it would provide a vertically polarized full sized 
quarter wave on 40.  Then you always have wire for the horizontal.

Just jerk input.

73, Jeff
