I have been thinging of using a mobile (possibly Coil antenna) as a base station antenna, do to height restrictions where I live. Is there anything special that I need to do, since it will not have a vehicle to use as a ground?

Of all the things I have lost, through out my life, I miss my mind the most!!!
add a ground plane and a coax choke
BTW , for not much more than the cost of the antennas mentioned you can get a 5/8 base antenna that will do significantly better .

Would a wire coat hanger on a broom stick stick up too high where your at?
Use a dipole, they're inexpensive, easy to hide, and will easily out perform any mobile antenna.
