Hi,
I work on a mountain at about 7000 feet. I have had
good luck with a center fed zep and a tuner. If you
are walkint I'd suggest a black widow fishing pole
as a center support for a inverted vee. Use banana
contacts or similar to split the vee up for different
bands. If you sit just belowe the pole rg174 is fine
as a feedline. To work best you should not sit at
the top but a littel way down the slope in the direction
that you want to work.

Good luck
Goran
