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.

100' tape measure. clip the belt attatchment to the whip antenna and pull
out as much as needed to extend the length. portable and practicle.

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.
