I built my 80/40 Ground Plane from W9OY (with my own modifications):
You can check his Web Page at:

It is light and yeasy to assemble.
Lee is a nice guy, always responded to my emailes.

No matter how good the commercially made verticals are, you *can*
build a better one yourself. The commercial units are always a
compromise in area of traps and/or loading coils. Homebrewers have no
such limitations. If you're serious about your antennas, get a copy
of the ARRL Antenna handbook and study it thoroughly.
