How about "Dummy-Pole?" grin Been there, done that. About 30 years ago, I went on a field day exercise where one of the HF stations was running a lightbulb on a pole for an antenna. 100 watts RF, about 50ft of RG-8/u, voltage stepped down with some kind of xfomer or balun, and a 150 watt incandescent light bulb. I don't recall how well they did, but I could see that the log was filling with contacts.
