Antenna building is probably one of the cheapest things you can do in any of the radio hobbies, and make a difference. Your antenna looks very nice. It is said the antenna can make or break the system, and I have found that to be very true. Please follow up with your specs/measurements on building the antenna. I have a couple I have built that are an omni type. It is a simple dipole made of #10 electrical wire, placed inside of white PVC, and mounted vertical. Works great for receive. I have made and tuned a couple for fast deployment on 2m and 440 as well.
