Some time ago I stumbled across the construction plan for a transportable and lightweight quarter-wave vertical telescopic antenna in my local club.

Operating from the Ringkobing Fjord near Sondervig where only a narrow landstrip lies between Fjord and North Sea as OZ/DO8YDP.
23m long endfed multiband for 10m, 15m, 20m, 40m, 80m with a height of 6,5m over ground running along our house.
10m monoband dipole, mounted underroof, reached Chile with only 100W in a distance of 13.168 km in USB and Tierra del Fuego in FT8 in a distance of 13.752 km.
Got it from a silent key operator from Gronau the day before Silvester ’23.
