Next question is the 41' S9 antenna?

I am not looking for an antenna that is wonderful, just easy to set up and works to make some contacts while on the road.

I was looking at a short push up pole anchored to the tongue of the trailer with the comet mounted some 10 to 15' above grade.

At home I mostly use my Carolina Windom 80 at 50'. The Butternutt HF9V is ground mounted with 12 radials. I do not expect a compromise vertical to be nearly as good as the base antennas.

I also carry a fan dipole I built for 20 and 40m with a push up pole to mount it as an inverted V. It takes up a lot of room which a lot of the campgrounds do not like.
