I don't know how easy it is to input audio from PSK31 software into such a
radio. Holding the mic up to your speaker may be a good start.
And to find a cheap 10 meter vertical: have a look at CB antennas. Most
will cover 28 MHz.
I did the experiment with transmitting to NO-84 using a dipole in the attic
and found I needed 20 watts on HF, see
