Here's another way to do it.

All you need is some wire, some coax, that PL259 adapter, and a clamp-on
ferrite core. Adjust the length of wire and the distance between the
wire and the ferrite choke so that each are a quarter-wave. This antenna
can be rigged horizontally, vertically, or sloping, depending on the
available skyhooks.
