Antenna suggestions for Xiegu G90 / JS8Call (lemmy.ml)

Hello all!

I’m trying to get my foot in the door with HF digital and looking for antenna suggestions using FT8/JS8Call with a Xiegu G90.

I have ~60 ft if space in the backyard to work with & live on the second story looking down into the yard (~20ft up).

I’d ideally like something portable I can pack up and take around with me camping. I’m leaning towards a random length wire right now, but would love to hear what you come up with!

Thanks in advance!

The trick with a friend and JS8Call would be to utilize heartbeats and script up some sort of notification alert when a path opens.
