Hello!
Making your own antenna is part of the fun. You can cut the wire antenna to length for the frequency you're using, eliminating the need for an antenna tuner.
QRP radios (<= 5W output) are relatively inexpensive to buy or build, but you WILL need that license. When the conditions are just right, the far-flung areas you can reach with one will surprise you...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
