For Summits On The Air ( https://www.sota.org.uk/ ) (SOTA), I've been using
just the VHF/UHF ham bands, with the 2m band being the most popular. For most
activations, I use a 3-element Arrow II yagi antenna (
http://arrowantennas.com/arrowii/146-3ii.html ) that has a gain of about 6
dBd. Sometimes that extra gain makes the difference between completing a
contact or not.
