One of the easiest and least expensive HF antennas is the "classic" random wire antenna.
Properly designed and tested, this antenna can provide hours of great contacts on a variety of HF bands.
In this video from Walt (SP/K4OGO), we see how to maximize the performance of this antenna with a 9:1 balun, a sturdy antenna "tuner", a good counterpoise/radial system, and some quality coaxial cable feedline.
