I can't say enough good things about a CrankIR vertical either. Have
used mine for Field Day and two NPOTA activations and it worked great.
Even had it installed over my permanent radial field for about a month
while my SteppIR vertical was being repaired after some wind damage.

when we got to a highrise '3 day rental up 14 floors, I needed to get

Yes, the packtenna pole is amazing, I used it throughout Europe this past
summer. My European friends recognized it as one made in Germany.
You can't go wrong with anything George and the Packtenna crew have.

Consider that some (many) hotel rooms have windows that will not open.
So when faced with that, do you break the window (not recommended) or
operate from outside the building or operate with a loop placed inside

I am with Fred on this call - particularly from a hi-rise hotel balcony at a
