I don't want fake or untuned crap, but the more affordable the better - ideally a whip/duckie wouldn't be more than $20, maybe $50 for something exotic like a moxon.

There are a raft of us broke punks starting a mesh in an extremely rf hostile environment. Need all the help we can get.

I like their antennas for VHF work.

Have one, tests nearly perfectly on RigExpert Stick at 914MHZ, they are about $17 on Amazon.
