STLs, or small transmitting loops. Also known as magnetic loop antennas. Diminutive in size, but big on performance!
Loading Coils for Portable Vertical Antennas

Loading Coils for Portable Vertical Antennas
Loading coils add series inductance to the antenna system, allowing for a shorter radiator. Also permits the use of several bands without the need for a matching unit (tuner).

Loading Coils for Portable Vertical Antennas
I made this out of scrap tubing I had, but it could also be easily fabricated by your local welding shop for not a lot of money.

LiFePO4 Batteries
I use a variety of batteries I have assembled from LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate), Li-Po (lithium-ion polymer), and Li-Ion (lithium ion) cells. When it comes to batteries to run your portable setup, the only right answer is LiFePO4!
