Oops, my fault! I should have elaborated just a bit more. I'm looking
for something to build on the cheap because it will be basically a
one-time use. A halo would be fine if I can build one. I have plans
for something similar from the RSGB VHF/UHF Manual, but it doesn't show
the feedpoint matching detail, so I'm not sure how to match it to 50
Ohms...something made of copper pipe or some 3/16" (I have a source)
steel wire that is copper clad (power pole ground wire) that could
handle 70 MPH.

Why not a Halo!

Any ideas for an omni directional antenna for 144.200 that could be
mounted above the topper of my pickup? Something like a halo/squalo?
