Okay, automatic antennas are generally more expensive, and those that offer finer performance typically cost several hundred yuan, such as the "Old Cat" antenna. However, the "Stink Bug" antenna is the most expensive, at around 2000 yuan, but it's now less common.
As for hand-held antennas, they require more precise positioning, but the "Blue Book" (now known as "Little Yellow Book") recommends using a hand-held antenna in conjunction with an automatic antenna. The hand-held antenna requires wrist movement and… well, something like that. There are many high-quality articles on forums like u about this topic. For example, the Constant K8 (heavy-duty) work antenna is a good option; it's very durable (unless the contacts rust), and I recently heard about the K4 training antenna from the same manufacturer, which was very cheap at around 100 yuan. As a beginner with only an A license, I also briefly inquired about Morse antennas when I contacted Morse, but I didn't expect to become a CW expert overnight. Trying to use FT8 and other advanced modes right away seems too aggressive…
