Whilst traversing the internet, I came across this kit:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Assembled-Forty-9er-3W-HAM-Radio-QRP-CW-Shortwave-Radio-Transmitter-Receive-/121522169657?hash=item1c4b492739:g:groAAOSw7ThUk8aH

The antenna connector is a battery lead (bottom-left of the first image.) I was wondering what antenna would work with that connection. Would soldering the battery lead wires up to a feeder be too lossy? Or can I risk a half wavelength long (20m long half wave on 40m obviously) piece of wire (there's not really a way to the effect of the antenna. That I know of. Any cheap antenna suggestions would be much appreciated!
27.555 for a copy?
