Extended it is over 5.5 metres tall, but it comes apart and collapses in a few seconds to about 71 cm and weighs just over 2 pounds (about 1 kg): it fits in almost any backpack.
It includes the MFJ-342T bracket for masts and tubes and the radial kit (counterpoise) for low SWR and good efficiency. The SO-239 connector is under the 3/8"-24 mount. It is also great for shortwave broadcast listening.
