GP6 is a great antenna, good quality and easy to assemble. Mine is at 35'
and performs very well.

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

[Paul Noll via BVARC]

Well I think I have it narrowed down to two choices. The G6-270 or the G6-144B. 
The G6-270 is about 7.5' long is factory tuned with a 4MHz bandwidth. The 
G6-144B is almost 10' long and will need to be tuned. It has a 2MHz bandwidth. 
The G6-270 and the G6-144B both show a expected 6dbd gain. Another  option is 
the G3-144 with 3dbd gain and about 7.5 ft long. 
I have to mount this antenna outdoors, my Attic has radiant barrier and a ton 
of a/c ducting. I'm thinking the shorter the better because of this. I'm kind 
of leaning toward the G6-270. It is a good length, has good gain,  supposed to 
not require any tuning and it gives me the option of adding a 440 capable radio 
in the future.

So, is my reasoning sound ? What say ye ? 

Oh, the radio I will be using is a Yaesu FT-2900R.

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

[Jimmy Vance via BVARC]

Since 146.94 is pretty much in your back yard you can get away with most 
anything.  If you want to stay somewhat stealthy take a look at the Ed 
Fong DBJ-1  runs $30 plus a 5 foot PVC pipe (that you paint black) I 
know several that have it mounted on the back of their TV sat dish. It 
is a dual band and works rather well.  Another option is the Arrow style 
J-pole, the run about $45

Arrow antenna, from Arrow or a hamfest. Easy to build I've built a 
couple and have been using one for a few years.

The G6 is 1db less than the G7 and about 3-5 ft shorter.

Also good antenna...

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

[SETX Telecom via BVARC]

The Hustler G6-270 is a good antenna but iirc the gain is dbi...2.15db
higher than dbd... You must look and compare properly..the G6-270 is a base
antenna not mobile...is better quality than the Comets or DiamondsI
have used the Comets CX333 since I also run 220...wish Hustler made a
triband version

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

[Dwayne Jones via BVARC]

Even the Diamond X30 would do a good job. 4.5 foot tall with 3.0 on VHF and
5.5 on UHF. Just make sure your attic does not solar barrier inside it.
Also just for fun where are you located and what repeaters do you plan on
using?

Ps  Even before the 34/94 refit that was done awhile ago we were hitting
the 34/94 from Seawolf Park in Galveston with the above antenna. True it
was up 50 feet or so with 50 watts of power

I need suggestions !!! I need a 2 meter home base vertical antenna. Not to 
long because of
the dreaded HOA ! Was looking at the Hustler G6-270? I know it's a dual 
bander but it is supposed to get 6db gain on both bands, is 5/8 wave and is 
only 7.5 ft long. A little longer is ok. Would like to keep it a one piece 
if possible but not a necessity.


Please, any suggestions will be considered !!

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

[D. Howard Bingham via BVARC]

That's the same antenna I used when mobile, as well from my apartment 
after I had to give up driving (Placed it on a pizza pan on bar counter 
top.), bought it same day as licensed, still have it, now in storage in 
nephew's garage..


I'm now using an ICOM W-32A with a 5/8's 2 meter accessory antenna to 
get my 5 watts the 35miles to the repeater site, on Mondays I participate,


All my equipment still works, but have a sister who is WORSE than an HOA 
when it comes to erecting antennas..

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

[Jon Noxon via BVARC]

How 'bout a J-pole in the attic? Even though you don't particularly need
UHF, a dual band J-pole would make you a little more future proof. The
antenna does not require grounding but you can if mounted outside (peace of
mind). Length from base to top of longest element is an inch shy of five
feet.

J-poles are simple and extremely stout. Check videos on YouTube.

My 2 cents.
