Stay away from the coaxial dipoles. They are junk. The vynil used on the
ouside of coax is unsuitabe for use as the dielectric of an antenna element.
While there are good ways of making this antenna the 'strip the coax and
fold back the sheild' method is not one of them.

If you built a dipole, then it was (most likely) not a quarter-wave - but
a
half-wave
a j-pole may be a good choice given the situation that it needs to be 'out
the window' and is uhf
or, for that matter, a coaxial half-wave dipole. (strip and fold back
1/4-wave of braid - and weatherproof it)

I'm Limited To An Antenna On The Front Of My House. Out My Window I Made
A
Simple !/4 wave Verticle Dipole. Would A 1/2 Wave Simply Be Twice The
Length, Using 462/f Mhz, And Would There Be An Advantage With A 1/2 Wave
Over a 1/4 Wave ?
Thanks
