[Antennas] 2 meter antenna

[wd8okn@juno.com]

Here is one of those dumb questions...

Let's say I make a vertical long wire for 2 meters?  I attach the braid of the coax to a 1/4 wave vertical facing down and attach the center conductor to a vertical long wire perhaps, let's say, 40 feet long (or high) to the top of a tree.  Has anyone tried it?  It could be several wave lengths long...   If I can match it to the 2 meter rig, and provide some decent height, would it work?  What kind of gain would I realize?
