A portable HF/VHF station doesn't have to be complicated. In this video from USNERDOC (KF7ETX), a few "Long Arm Painter's Poles", some inexpensive wire, an antenna "tuner", a few batteries, and a small HF/VHF transceiver will get you on the air.  This video shows the perfect "antenna weather"-- wet, rainy, and a bit chilly. Despite the poor conditions, KF7ETX easily sets up his station and makes a few contacts. Most of the antenna materials can be found at the nearest home improvement or building supply outlet.
