Hi Dick.
On my travels I use a 10 metre telescopic fibre glass pole. Often I can get
this up a few more metres on a verandah or the roof of a building especiall
around southern europe because of the type of house design.This will support
a variety of antennas but for LF I would suggest an inv L type antenna ie
12m vertical plus what ever length of top you can get out. Because of the
bend you will lose a metre or so, then comes the convential loading coil and
matching to your coax to the TX/RX. Throw out a few insulated ground radials
and you are in business. Depending on your loading coil and antenna wire
diameter you could run 1kw.
In my opinion this is the best approach, kites, balloons etc would work but
introduce other variables and unreliability.
I will look out for you on CW although I have worked LX several times years
ago on CW.

Subject: LF: portable DX-pedition antenna?
Any suggestions for a DX-pedition antenna which is easy to built up,
and as efficient as possible?
Should be capable of withstanding 1kW.
