J Pole antennas are dual band and commonly made of 1/2" coper pipe, though they can be made from just about any conductor including flat tv antenna wire. If you can't build one, or get someone else to build you one (ask someone in the Radio Group), check Ebay. There are several people that make and sell them. They work well and are a ham radio staple. Shop for best value.
