Hi Michael,
I by no means am speaking from experience, however, I want to make a comment
about the Hustler mobile antenna system which could be used as a portable
antenna.
I have used this antenna although limited in the mobile.
The antenna components are relatively inexpensive and there is an adaptor
that can be mounted at the top of the mast that allows you to mount three
resonators simultaneously. If you go this rout, be warned that while it
looks like you could add a fourth resonator in the center of the three, this
will not work as it will detune the whole system.
Just my two cents worth.
