Any I guess as they're so small!

I'd put up a beam for a field day.

2 element quad is fairly simple to make.

Can't go wrong with an Antron-99 unless your looking for something directional

Well, just today, I worked a dude on 10M from TN whom had a double 10M Hamsticks in the dipole-like pattern. Not a great signal my way, but he gave me at the most an S5 with his 100W, while my original late 80's RCI-2950 was only pushing out 18W back to him. I'm using a rebuilt 10M Ringo AR-10. I believe that he heard me better than I heard him, but still a nice contact. I'm sure those 10M Hamsticks could be MAX'ed out for 11M. I still have a 6M Hamstick to a 5" MAG mount. 10W on 6M SSB had me working "7" land back in the mid-1990's.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

A wire a few wavelengths long would be very directional and easy to tote around.
