[amsat-bb] How to get started on SSB birds

I have been doing FM birds for a couple of years now with HTs and Arrow antennas. I am ready to start messing with the other birds. I have a Kenwood TS-2000 for a rig. I do NOT currently have a tower up. I was wondering antenna suggestions you guys might have to jump into the ssb birds without using a tower. My preference is to build something as money is always an issue (insert wife).
