For 20M (and it will work thru 10M, possibly on 30M)
an easy to build wire antenna with some gain is a half
square. It can be corner fed with coax quite easily.
Cebik's (w4rnl) site has dimensions to match 50 ohm
coax. A google search for "half square antenna" will
yeild a plethora of sites. It's a great DX antenna,
but you may get weirded out by how quiet it is
initially.

Now if I can just figure out what kind of antenna to
use on the cruise ship to Alaska... ;o)
