Hello there. If you are looking for a decent dual band base/repeater antenna that can handle modest power, and presents a low wind/ice load, it is hard to beat the Diamond X-50. Modest gain (to avoid heating up the horizon or sky), it is inexpensive, and un-obtrusive. I have used these for repeaters and remote bases on modest mountain tops here in Ca. with good results. As a matter of fact, I have a Diamond tri-band antenna for a remote base at 3100 feet that has been up for 8 Gold Country winters now and it is still in one piece with low VSWR. FWIW.
