Same old formula for 1/4 wave (234/Freq in MHz) still works. 2 meters is
easy to work with. Used to use a coat hanger stuck out the top of a
Gonset Communicator II. You can probably find an old telescoping auto
radio antenna (like the one that was probably in the hole originally) and
use it. Just telescope it out to the desired length.
