portable antennas for 15, 12, or 10 meters?

Post by N3NEI »

As the sunspots start bringing the high bands back into play, I'm curious about preferred portable antennas for 15, 12, or 10 meters. Do the compact sizes at these frequencies invite any designs that might be too long or bulky for portable use on the lower bands? Or is the EFHW still king? (Let's assume we're talking about single-band antennas.)
