Look up QRPGuys on Google - they have some EFHW kits - might be a
help.

Here i use a small 2 element beam on 20,15,10m and verticals on
the other bands, plus I sometimes use an end fed halfwave (EFHW)
.? a dipole or EFHW certainty is a good antenna, if space is short
bend the ends. My ubitx can qso 5000 km on ssb, conditions do
change. Once I gave my call sign twice, and a op in Europe
chastised me since he heard me easily the first time, and we
doubled.?
Erect whatever antenna will fit, a 20m dipole with bent ends can
make qsos. A qrp EFHW for 20 or 40 meters can be home constructed,
info on line. You might need help finding a source to make the
ferrite balun in your country or region.?
