Sinclair wideband dipole arrays are probably our best bet (SD214-HL as an
example). They cover 138-174 MHz, available with either 1/4 wave or 1/2
wave spacing from element to mast (go with half-wave if you want to get
close to omni, quarter-wave for a more unidirectional pattern). Built like
a tank. Telewave also has broadband dipole arrays, but personally I like
Sinclair's construction better.
