100 MHz is right... or certainly close enough.

A vertical antenna with gain is going to be larger than a 1/4 wave whip mounted on a fender.

Then you'll need to consider impedance matching...

A successful antenna design & build project is more than cutting a piece of tubing and soldering a connector on. If you have the knowledge, tools and test equipment, you've still got some work ahead of you.
