I  had a great site in a campground in south NSW  overlooking  the pacific/|tasman  sea and local lagoon  about 100 feet up, operating  from  the camp pitch  ‘dunny’ which had mains  and heat and light! Meant the xyl  had  the  campervan to  herself  for 24hrs!
Hmbrew suitcase verticals were ok but not a good antenna for 80m at 33 feet bottom loaded, some G s could not  hear me, but good on 40m  and ‘OK’  1/4wave on 20m, lots of Oceania of  course , a few G s on 80m on sunday morning  and 40m was ok  to G  longpath at 0900z  to my  surprise…
