Having looked it up..I use DuckDuckGo as I understand Google tracks and
builds a database, it comes in various lengths. It consists of a balun,
wire and end insulator. The end insulator appears to be a piece of
drilled PVC pipe which is fine. I use 3 and 4' spreaders made of the stuff.

Having started from the frugal approach to ham radio, I can't imagine
purchasing a wire antenna when the dimensions and even cook book
directions are readily available in the antenna handbook, or on line. I
have to admit, soldering with one hand takes a bit of ingenuity.
