Anyone serious about using end-fed wires needs to read this article,  
IMHO !
I have this permanently book-marked in my copy of The Antenna File and
I have probably re-read it 20 times.

BTW I thought that I would add that this publication is available in 
the US
from the ARRL.

Personally I really enjoy RSGB antenna publications. Folks in the UK 
and Europe
have had to contend with "small gardens" for quite some time and have 
come up
with some very interesting and innovative antenna solutions to fit in 
to small spaces.
