Hi all. Looks like I'll be in Europe during the ARRL CW DX contest. I'll be 
bringing along my IC706 and doing a 100 watt effort for the contest. It will be 
an all-band effort with heavy emphasis on running on the high bands. I'd like 
to put up a briefcase-portable antenna with gain fixed on the US for 20-10. Can 
anybody help out with a tribander design that uses thin wire elements and a 
minimum number of traps? Something equivalent to an A3 or other small tribander 
would be great! I have EZNEC . . . if you have a simple tribander model, I'd be 
happy to start there.
