Default Really Inefficient Antennas

Hi,
Since much has been made of the pros and cons of the B&W dipole or T2FD, I
thought it would be interesting to see if other amateurs have managed to
homebrew one of these. The B&W costs $200 USD. Seems like one could make
something that has the same amount of inefficiency for a lot less dollars.
Maybe use resistance wire (nichrome?), or connect a light bulb at the
feedpoint. The Isotron has been mentioned, but it costs too much. Any ideas?
