Vert is mainly what base and mobile operators have..so you need a vert antenna to receive/talk to them. If your looking for long distance/Skip..you need a horz antenna..one..to get out there(even with a 3 watt radio)..but wit a horz(beam) antenna ...you will lose your locals on vertical. also..if your running any power..it will splatter on AM band on vertical.
My advise is.. Buy the Best Antenna that You can Afford,good coax, and see the improvement!
