They are easy to make.  I mad eone on a customer's M1127 Stryker RV.  All you need are a couple radio bases w/springs.  Some thin rod, and thicker rod/tubing.  I first took a radio base and attched a piece of teh thin rod, then added the other radui base on top of it with the thick rod/tubing on top.  Fill the top end of teh thick rod/tubing and sand it flat.  A quick and cheap Duke antenna.
Looks like this.

Looks like this.

Gino's drawing isn't showing up, so I'll try posting it:
  
 
and I enlarged it a little for those like me with poor old tired eyes.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the assist Dave.
You should try it out. Scratch building isn't hard, you just need to take the plunge. Instead of using everything in resin, you may find you enjoy scratch building and get more satisfaction out of it.
