For UHF/VHF base use.  Ed Fong 2m/440 PVC pipe or Jetstream JBT2 fiberglass vertical 2m/440?  Probably about 20 feet above ground.

Fong will cost you 1/2 on the front end-but then you have to buy or fab a mount. I love mine-excellent reports all the way around.

I'd bet the Jetstream or similar would have more gain, and there is the mount that is included with the antenna.  I considered this and the #3 before I bought the Fong, wanted to try something different-and the 1/2 price thing influenced as well I was shopping here done biz with him in past-stand up dude. Fong was great as well

YMMV

I don't know but I got the Ed Fong off ebay; antennas_iqn I believe and I'll be mounting it up.

I also have the N9TAX Slim Jim for a roll up portable

As far as the mount...the PVC that my Ed Fong is in is held onto the PVC mast on top of the tower with duct tape and two zip-ties

How's that for custom?

Every time I see Ed Fong all I can think of is Dan Fong. Yes, I read Patriots.
That is all, carry on.

And this is one of the reasons why I frequent this forum over all the rest.
