I know my solution will annoy the purists, but I offer it anyway...
I would recommend using the SGC-237 tuner (not cheap)! If it cannot
load what ever antenna you can get up or improvise it probably cannot
be done. With this device, a ground and 28 feet of vertical wire you
can work to 160 meters. Of course the better the ground, the better
the performance. A quarter wave on frequency might work better, but
whatever you have will work.

Performance probably won't be that great, but hey, it's an option.

And the purists would be arguing and wouldn't geth the antenna up until
after the emergency is over, if then! ;^)
