I have used an old beat up Butternut vertical with good results on my island hopping campains. I have thought about modifying one of those such that certain joints were held together with hose clamps. Then the antenna would break down into sections for transport and go back up quick, easy and still in tune. A little dab of "bulb grease" would make the sections come back apart easy.
Then there's my trusty 20m bazooka dipole. Wow. Works the world on 100 watts, the secret being when you are QTH'ed on a desireable island the DX will come to you!!
