@N0ZB Both Vertical Random Wire and EFHW performed the same. Last night I had packed 40 and 20 meter but got solar data alerts early this morning so I switched to to have more band options. I needed all of them to activate site as bands were horrifically unstable.

I could also bring the Arrow and try to find an FM Sat pass, but that sounds a lot more complicated / disruptive to our hiking plans. Thinking I'd leave the KG-UV9D+ at home and bring a single with a MFJ-1899T small telescopic vertical for an antenna.
