I'm thinking homebrew 4 element cubical quad.  Can feed either on the side for vertical polarization, or bottom for horizontal...  Cheap to build, light weight.  Will work on almost any small rotor, no problems with wind load, and small enough to hide...

 
KK4QDZ - Now with Extra Class Priv's, and a tiny KX3 to enjoy them!

Very cool!  This brings up the question of what antennas folks are planning to use with the 2m/4m modules.  I am anxiously awaiting my 2m module and can make use of the waiting time to read up on VHF antennas (I'm not much of a VHF guy).

Thanks and 73,
John, W7SAG
