Welcome aboard Angel! Great group of folks here (YLs, XYLs and OMs) who will be glad to help out.
The antenna depends on how you want to use it. While moving (or camped), I suggest a screwdriver type. If you only operate while camped, a good single band wire dipole or vertical without radials (have done well with a Comet 250B) maybe the way to go. If you have an auto tuner, a G5RV is good too. There are all kinds of possibilities and I'm sure others will chime up. Take a look through the other posts too, plenty of info here.
73! and Good Luck!
