Thanks to Simon (VA7BIX) for this simple, effective antenna that goes perfectly with camping or any outdoor activity.
All you need is some wire, a spare fishing reel, and a small antenna "tuner." Antenna losses are minimized because the "tuner" is joined directly to the antenna wire.
According to Simon, the antenna can be assembled in approximately 5 minutes once you've modified the "tuner" to hold the reel.

Here are some comments from Simon (VA7BIX):
Worlds EASIEST Multi Band Antenna (Camping, Portable, Emergency) #pota #dx #antenna #hamradio
G'day Mates - here's a 5 minute build of a pretty crazy and fun 'lazy' antenna, that would be AWESOME for camping or any quick deployment. In fact, I think this would be the choice antenna for an emergency grab and go...being able to tune it and use it on any band.
Hope you enjoy the video mates! Wooohooo cheers! Simon VA7BIX
