Andrew-

I found a design a while ago that I've been wanting to build. It's
only 2m, but it's cheap and easy!  I've posted it on the forum
under  "Antennas & Designs".

There is another, similar design that I have seen, but I can't find
the info right now.

Let us know how you make out.

Also, if you decide on a homebrew, there may be other people
interested, so you might be able to buy more parts and a lower price,
so let the group know that as well.
