Uh, Google? ...but, anyway...

I bought a RS TRC-458 Navaho base station at a garage sale this weekend
for
ten dollars and I have a twenty foot mast and I would like to build my
own
antenna, to save $$$.

Ten bucks, huh? Hmmm...

The pattern needs to be at least 180 degrees as I live on the coast of
Florida. I plan to run barefoot (till I can buy some power) so I need
some
efficiency.

Another reply was for a dipole or loop antenna (good & cheap)

How about a J-pole? This one is for 10m; you can recalculate for the
portion of 11m you want to work.
