Hi all,
So I just started into the hobby and was looking for some suggestions. I have recently got my roof redone in my house and created a neat under the shingle type antenna using some foil tape. I have radials which are 30 ft,20ft,10ft etc for later fun. Figured I would get it installed while they were doing it. They are all tied into the centre if the roof where I have installed a tripod.
Now my dilemma is buying my first antenna. I have been using a whip antenna for my base station so far on the 2m/70cm bands which works well for around my area but I want more power. I also am thinking of getting into the 6m band as well. Can anyone recommend an antenna which I can use with my tripod that will do 6m/2m/70cm? I know there are many options out there which I have seen but I need some guidance.
Thanks
