For those of you who may be using a coil antenna now or have in the past. From your experiences, which are the best ones? If you were going to use one, which would you buy?

i'm a fan of the predator 10k antennas , love mine .
if your gonna use it for your base antenna idea loose the coil and go with a 108 inch whip ..... with the ground plane added and a coax choke .

As I mention in my original post, I have a height restriction. Therefore, I am trying to set up a quality mobile antenna as a base antenna. It's not as easy as one might think. You need some thing to take the place of the vehicle, which acts as a ground plane for the mobile antenna.

here's a link to explain coax chokes

they help prevent common mode currents from coming down the coax . CMC's can cause bleeding into nearby electronics (tv , computer . etc. )
there is no GP kit there for it . you can make one out of speaker wire and PVC pipe from lowes/homedepot etc. .
here's one i made , used speaker wire for the vertical ... just taped it to the side of a piece of pvc sticking up above the GP .

Get a Antron 99 ...just a straight up piece of fiberglass and you don,t need to have radials..
and will work way better than trying to use a mobile antenna..
Can buy them almost every were..
