After rereading the apt rules I figure my best bet between usefulness and ease of use is going to be some sort of roll up 2m/70cm antenna I can hang from my porch when in use.
EDIT: I am not looking to build my own antenna, just looking for opinions on a practical and reasonable priced one.
Anyone got opinions about these two? Both have been recommended elsewhere.

Also as they claim to be tuned do I need a SWR meter at this stage? It's not really in the current budget.
