I just posted a very low-cost ground plane vertical antenna that anyone can make :
this antenna is useful for frequencies up to 1 GHz (900 MHz ISM band) down to FM radio (88 MHz on the low end), but will need to be sized appropriately for the center radiator (1/2 wavelength) and the four counterpoise ground radials (1/4 wavelength).
