Donnie,
I view "good" to mean commercial-grade. Reliable, high-performance
antennas are available for the 220 band from RFS/Celwave, Decibel
Products, and Sinclair. They're not cheap, and a good antenna will cost
between 500 and 800 bucks. Depending upon your repeater location
relative to the desired coverage area, it might be wise to use an offset
dipole antenna instead of a vertical omnidirectional fiberglass
antenna. Whichever antenna design you choose, consider using a top
support to keep it from waving in the wind.
