I use a 100' Long wire with an auto tuner so I can change bands from my operator's chair without going otuside.

The Ham across the drive from me (Well he was getting ready to leave BEFORE I pulled in) he uses a portable crank up tower mounted to the rear of his rig with a pair of Ham Sticks in "Dipole" configuration.

There is one called the "BIG EAR" that is.. based on what he uses.

I like being able to operate 80/40/20 without goign outside but some parks object to the long wire..

A Screwdeiver, or a mini dipole on a mast.. That works

I also have a 25' Flagpole for VHF/UHF antennas when I care to put it up.
