Ringo Ranger II . 2 5/8 waves vertical . But multipath is
much lower with
a vertically polarized 4 element beam with the mounting pole as the
"screen".
Gain is good , but when the vertical , omnidirectional antenna gains
up
both signals , you lose !
I dont know of an easier antenna to build . You must use the
foam type
coax for the capacitor , solid P.E. is too losy at VHF/UHF .
Dont use a rotator / motor combo . Make ur own solenoid driven
rotator , using
2 solenoids ,one to drive a big wheel to the R , other drives it L .
When idle , they lock the position .
