[CQ] antenna building?

[Michael Shiloh]

i need to make a very simple antenna for my dual band handheld (FT-60R), 
so that i can use it inside my faraday cage (shipping container) at the 
shipyard.

i envision a simple vertical perhaps with 4 radials. it will be mounted 
on the roof of my container and so has a nice metal groundplane.

to simplify construction i don't  want to raise it very high. i hope 
that a 2 * 4 stuck in one corner of the container will suffice. i will 
somehow have to clear the (unused) solar panels on my roof.

my constraints are:

1. price must be near zero
2. scrounged materials might be quite exotic but are entirely unpredictable
3. reasonably easy to construct

i thought this might be a fun project to do as a group build, as i 
suspect others of you might be in the same boat (pun intended).
