Here's another great way to end feed a half wave that Steve didn't think 
of. It originated with an idea that N6LF published.

Using a connector and barrel for the center was W6GJB's idea. For 
backpacking, a BNC to female Pomona adapter (Pomona is the official name 
for double banana jacks and plugs) could be used instead. To make this a 
multiband antenna, simply use a shorter or longer piece of wire for the 
top end and move the choke to a matching position along the coax.
