You'd be surprised at what ya can do with an antenna...as long as you don't get to crazy..
A double-bazooka made right, vice the other 999 versions somewhere on the internet that don't take velocity-factor into account (with subsequent complaints that they don't work). Then again, it might be too heavy to haul in unless you get some super low-loss high-$ low-payload coax like DoD uses all the time. Oh. Wait...

IIRC that's on the standard list somewhere of a signaleer's alibis. 'Course 5x5 is better than an alibi anytime.

I like glebo's idea of wire around a PVC, assume here basically talking about using loading coils to make the wire electrically longer than it really is, ergo more portable & "hide-friendly" no?
