Hi,

Which antenna sould I use to work with my yaesu FT-100D, on vacation in the
mountains. longwire + tuner, or vertical + tuner or even other solutions.

I think a long wire should be the best, but what should be it's best length?

Any other tips and info is welcome.

If you have supports, I would use a dipole cut to the lowest frequency
of interest, fed with ladder-line + tuner. If you don't have supports,
I would use a center-loaded vertical with radials (like the improved St.
Louis Vertical). The collapsible SD-20 fishing pole makes a vertical.
Two of them plus a support make a rotatable dipole. Try
