     For VHF/UHF Portable operations from an apartment or hotel room, a VERY small, easily manipulated/held antenna, with some gain for the 6/2/70 bands would be nice. 

     A loaded element tri-band yagi a.k.a.H F tribanders would certainly work better than 1/4 or 1/2 whips. 2 elements on 6m, 3 on 2m, and 6 on 70cm would probably be the best compromise ....and remember that boom-length must be no longer than 3 ft or so. I've operated VHF contests from hotel rooms where a 2 meter 1/2 wave dipole is too big to use! 

     Additionally, the pieces must be small enough to fit inside a normal suitcase.

      Anyone care to produce this?
