Not particularly flat ... (MA)

Right, I should bave been more clear, I'm looking for an
omnidirectional vertical.

I once had a Hustler 2-meter collinear, something like 5 db gain
omnidirectional, and five feet tall or thereabouts, with a 3/8x24
mount. Never had a better 2 meter mobile antenna before or since.
But, it only comes in a monoband version, and only 2 meters and 220.
If I could find something dual-band for 2 and 440 that's as good as
that one was, I'd be happy.
