Default Best portable antenna for airbands?

Some of the large, multi-section, multi-band ham antennas like the RH77CA
and AL-500H are much better than the stock duckie, but they were really
designed for a few specific ham radio frequencies.

You did ask what is the best, didn’t you??

Where did you find that the Maldol AL-500H was designed for ham radio? All
references I find on the web clearly state it is designed for 116-174MHz and
230-360 MHz aircraft bands. There's also no mention that they're even
suitable for use on 2m/70cm amateur ham radio bands.

Your right, I had the AH-510 and other hamster antennas on my mind which
do work nice on commercial bands but some people mistakenly recommend
for air band.
The AL-500 is a great air and mil-air antenna.
