What's your favourite antenna for portable activity?
KI6J:
Thank you for the honor, Captain. My rigging will run true.
That yagi is a beautiful sight. She flies two days per year on our Field Day.

IZ5ZCO:
Yes, it's very fine! I'm only a ship owner. The skipper will be chosen by the community. :)
GM0LVI:
Much depends on where I'm operating from.
In the past when operating from a beach side studio in Greece I've used a home-brew loaded GP for 17m and 15m. I designed it to fit in a suitcase.
Working /P in Scotland I use a 8m fishing pole with resonant GPs for 20m and 17m and also a Hustler mobile whip with attached radials on the bike rack of our mobile home. (Fishing pole is the best though).
T6EC:
I'm currently using the Buddistick with an additional 22" (x2) section and a Shock cord whip that's 106" for a total 12.5 feet with a 6' diameter capacitance hat which electrically extends the antenna to about 18.5'.
Grounded off the roof of my (metal) living container, it has served me well so far.
UR3LCM:
I use wire antennas: Inverted V for 40m, vertical Delta Loop for 20m, slopper/dipole for 10m.
