Make it 5 meter long wire hanging from the center conductor of a
hanging 5+ meter long coax.

Or fold 1/4WL of the braid back down over itself leaving
1/4WL of the insulated center conductor to hang down.
It's called a sleeve dipole.

What might the impedance of this look like, say, if I
took the last 10 meters of a 100' 50-ohm coax piece
and slice it to split out into a 20-meter sleeve dipole
and hung the dipole part vertically from the balcony?
Can I just screw the other end onto the back of
my transceiver and go? Or....
