I ordered a dB224JJ from Hutton Communications a number of years ago. It

If you go to this site on the Repeater Builder web page there is a very nice
and inexpensive fiberglass antenna for 220 MHz. I'm running one on my repeater
without issues.
Antenna is made by Tram.

I have used the Hustler G7-220 antenna on my 220 repeaters when it was Roof

I also found the CushCraft 4 pole series 220 antenna was also a great
antenna. Howver I did not care for the way the Phasing Harrness was built.

Hi again,
I found out that the ham building our repeater is using a GE Master II.
He suggested we use a G7-144. Our antenna will be mounted on top of the tower
at either 60 or 70 feet, as we getting a newer tower than the 35 foot one that
is up now.

Just wondering what your thoughts are concerning the COMPROD line of antennas.
I was at one of their seminars and was very impressed with the construction and
workmanship.

I wonder if we might be going at this the wrong way.
We're spending $500 or $1,000 for a difficult-to-find
commercially made antenna that might be a compromise
for the frequency we're on.
What if we just make our own antenna? Is it that hard
to do?

For fiberglass, RFS still makes the SuperStationmaster for 220 (model #
220-8). Telewave (ANT220F6) and Sinclair (SC229 series) also still make
fiberglass omnis for 220.
Sinclair (SD212, SD214, SD218), Telewave (ANT220 series) and Comprod (87x
series and 88x series) make 220 dipole arrays.
I haven't bought any of their antennas for ham projects yet. I've purchased
one of their VHF dipole arrays for a commercial job, but I wasn't on-site
when it was delivered, unpacked, or installed, so I didn't get to examine
it. Most of what I've heard has been positive. They share a lot of
