No steak dinner needed, but check out

Barry's longer loaded antennas (typically 60-70% of full size) work
VERY well. The Limited Space antennna PPT includes NEC modeling of
one of his antennas. It shows only 0.5dB lower efficiency and
roughly half the SWR bandwidth on the loaded band. My app note also
includes a reference to a piece in QST that tells how to design your
own loaded dipole.
