Default Need some portable antenna ideas.

Thanks for the input.

Looks like antenna compliment will include the small Kaito active loop
I got with the radio, a roll of 16 gauge wire and a wrist rocket with
plenty of sinkers, and a homebrew 4' tuned loop that I can hopefully
resonate on 75m & MW too. I'm looking at some Loop plans now. Maybe a
Hula Loop.

Going cross country at the end of September. Radio will probably be a
degen DE1103. I don't want to risk any of the more expensive RX.

I need some ideas of practicle antennas to bring along. Practicle =
Low cost and preferable homebrew. Will be looking for MW and 160m &
75m am.
