A majority of the recommendations on this forum favor the J-Pole and the Arrow groundplane. They can be found here:

and here:

http://www.arrowantennas.com/gp/gp146.html

I have both of these antennas on different feeds and they seem to be working very well.

Performance is much more dependent on where you mount the antenna, how high, what type of coaxial cable you use (and its length), and other factors such as close-in noise that may exist (like AC power-line noise).

mi comentario (por experiencia propia) es mejor la antena J-Pole que la 1/4 de onda y pues la primera es facil de construir. Existen muchas paginas con referencia a esa antena y su fabricacion, incluso videos en youtube.
