If you want to do the /R as well, could always try Loops..don't have to
do any set up at each stop..just watch for low branches ! This guy
offers some HD Loops for fair price..I have his 6M and 2M versions..work
well !

(and I am in No Way affiliated with him !)

Hi Steve, Mike and all.....I recommended to Mike that he build a
couple of Cheap Yagis. You could build them on different booms, use
separate feedlines, and a simple coax switch to the rig. The coax
switch could be a cheapo mechanical one or you could use a relay. KISS
wins again....

I second the opinion about log periodics. They really come into their
own when you are trying to cover 3 or more bands, but it takes a lot of
LP aluminum to equal a 3 element Yagi for gain.
You could build a couple of Cheap Yagis on a single boom (2m at the back
and 70 cm at the front - the 2m signals won't see the higher frequency
antenna at all) and couple them to a single feed line with a diplexer.
Comet makes a few with tolerable advertised losses, though they are
not weatherproof - you might be able to do better. If the boom ends
up too
long for transport you could make it in two pieces which could fold
or be
taken apart.
