I have run 160M SSB from a Codan 2110 manpack using the 3 meter whip on
several occasions, was able to hold a QSO to stations 350 miles out or so.
No ground wire and all self contained.

Subject: Topband: 160/M---Time for a new topic--- 160mobile?!
TOPIC - How many of you have every operated 160m mobile? - TOPIC (or worked
a far away mobile maybe)
I know AA1K has and I have even heard and worked Jon when he was mobile. I
would love to hear more from Jon.
Then there was that KH6......I am sorry, my brain can't remember his
callsign @ the moment. Big truck, big power.
I would really enjoy hearing your 160m MOBILE stories. I am sure others
would as well.
