This antenna costs $145. Main element is 73' long, counterpoise is 25' long. I don't have mine as elevated as I'd like - it's maybe 30' up. I left my rig running last night on WSPR (5 watts) on 80 meters and here's the propagation report:
Conditions were OK, but not great. Usually, I also hit Australia, New Zealand, South America, Africa and Antarctica pretty routinely. Still, this isn't too bad.
This antenna is made to be portable and it comes with a wire winder to keep it neat. It's very lightweight. Insulated loops are attached to make stringing it up easy. I was able to get this set up in about 30 minutes by myself. Field set-up would be very easy, but I would probably recommend a short mast or tripod to support the feed-end.
SWR is 2:1 or less across all bands, but I still use my rig's tuner to bring it down even more.
