Later, I started thinking about how to make a compact 2 (or 3) element beam with hamsticks. That should be doable, and somewhere, someone has undoubtedly already done it. But...if I'm going to do that, then why not echo the idea with a homebrewed beam with wire and loading coils? That would probably make for a compact beam that I could take to parks for POTA activations.
