Mike,

Might I suggest that you build a simple 2 meter J-pole with 300 ohm TV twin
lead.  Many build instructions are on the internet.
300 ohm twin lead and a length of coax.

Then either hoist it up into a tree or tie /tape it to a long wooden pole
and extend it into the air.

Probably easier than getting a metal j-pole and mounting it on a mast and
running coax, etc.

73 and best of luck.....Rick   W5RH
