After going through the research, the best money I ever spent was on the
Spirit 6 dB fiberglass end fed antennas. I have posted pictures of this
antenna in its rugged icy environment in the photos over a year ago. I use
the Heavy Duty model exclusively throughout our network of repeaters on 440
and 420 omni hubs. I use the radome encased Kathreine 10 dB yagis for
directional 420 links. When you buy quality, it only hurts once.
Here's a link to the three pictures posted on this Yahoo Group.

I have a need for a 420/425 MHz 6 db or more gain omni antenna for a hub
linking site.
The site is covered in ice and snow for 6-7 months a year and accessible
only by snow cat during those times.
Anyone have anything lying around they would like to sell?
Whats everyone's favorite antenna for this purpose?
Thanks,
