For single-band operation, an autotransformer comes to mind.
Wind a coil with about 12 microhenries of inductance. Transmitter
output goes to the top of the coil. Ground goes to the bottom.
Tap down from the top on the coil for the antenna feedpoint.
The transformation ratio is roughly equal to the square of the
turns ratio.

===============================
Cec, it seldom works. You forgot to mention the most important
parameter is the input impedance to the antenna.
For an analysis of an inverted-L or vertical antenna, plus tuner L and
C component values, download in a few seconds program ENDFEED from
website below. No unzipping inconveniences. Run immediately. Easy to
use.
