2m antenna?

-Simple!

Cut a piece of wire, 1/4 wave long.

Solder wire to inner lead of the end of a coaxial cable.

Find a stick of wood, plastic or fiberglass, at least 3/4 wl long.

Tape wire and coax to stick.

Fix stick to rucksack, so that the antenna wire is as high as possible.

Connect coax to radio.

That's it!

Thanks for that, so a 1/4 wave does not need a counterpoise then?
