I am taking a trip on a dive boat to Cocos Island off of Costa Rica.
I'm thinking about trying to bring an HF rig. What suggestions have
you for an antenna? It would have to fit into a reasonably "standard"
suitcase, or go as carry-on luggage, since packing space is limited.

Take a look at the www.njqrp.org/pac-12 website. I built one of these and
have been very happy with it. The wire ground radials may prove to be a
problem, but the idea might be worth considering. I've used it while camping.
