Here's a link to a very fine 2M j-pole, easy to build and excellent results.

After copying the picture with the element lengths, click on "Instructions"
on the bottom of the page for the rest of the info.
A 1/2 wave will "get out" better than a 1/4 wave.

I'm Limited To An Antenna On The Front Of My House. Out My Window I Made A
Simple !/4 wave Verticle Dipole. Would A 1/2 Wave Simply Be Twice The
Length, Using 462/f Mhz, And Would There Be An Advantage With A 1/2 Wave
Over a 1/4 Wave ?
Thanks
