These are described in the ARRL Handbook and in the ARRL Antenna Book. Purchase a Handbook or ARRL Antenna Book and study it. Antennas don't change much, so even an old copy of the Antenna Book will be very useful. These show up at Ham Fests occasionally. You can also special order ARRL publications from good bookstores.
Outdoor antennas perform better than indoor ones.
If all you can erect is an indoor antenna, fine, but try to see if there is a way to get up an antenna outside. A thin wire supported an inch or more away from the building will be much better than one inside. If you can dangle a wire out a second story window, feed against a counterpoise, that will be a pretty good antenna. Don't scrimp on feed line. Good, low-loss feed line does not cost much more than the antenna it is feeding.
