1/4 is not a dipole for sure.
I assume your session with google is over, nothing found, you come here to ask?

I'm using a 1/4-wave GP antenna made from a SO239 plug and some 3/16 copper pipes, which performs rather good...
(in this picture, i've just 3d-printed a sleeve to protect the dipole.)
I used information on this page to make it. (use Google translate)

Knocked up a quick and dirty dipole for mobile use with the handheld, just chuck it in the backpack and pedal off up a nice hill.
Works rather well too!
Antenna analyser indicates its not too far away from being good either.
