Hello Amal, I recently got my licence and going through this process with hoa restrictions. While ARRL efhw is great, I would recommend chameleon’s version. If you have tall trees, you can use their longer version that’s resonant from 80 meters. Id you prefer vertical, mfj is awesome but I would definitely go with dxcommander. I currently have a mfj1979 whip which is only 17ft. Check out the dxcommander rapid or classic. For antenna analyzer, go for rigexpert 230 which is more than enough for many of us.
