What type of verticle are you talking about, like a ground plane? Would
a ground plane be a better antenna for 2meters?
A ¼-wave groundplane, a ½-wave dipole, a J-Pole or 5/8-wave ground
plane in most typical installations according to NEC analysis will not
vary more than a dB at best.
Remember a receiving station can hardly detect a dB difference.
