Quarter wave stub at the top?  Are you referring to a whip?
 
And a decoupling sleeve like so?:
 
                      ||| <-bottom 1/4 wave element
                      |||
                      ||| <-Bottom of antenna. (SO-239 optional)
                    | ||| |
                    | ||| |
                    | ||| | <- 1/4 wave metal tube over coax
                    | ||| |
                    |_|||_| <- Connected to shield here
                      |||
                      ||| <- Coax to xcvr
                      |||
 
Correct?
