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.

Str.

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.

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