J-Pole
An antenna design that is relatively easy to assemble yourself. For
more information, see

(Courtesy of ARRL). Note: The basic J-pole design can be applied to any frequency, as long as measurements are proper for that frequency.
Furthermore, a 2-meter J-pole will also resonate on the 440 MHz (70 cm)
ham band, making for a reasonable dual-band antenna.
