Home Depot has the Tram 1480 dual band base antenna on sale for $70!  I have the 3/4 WL version of this same antenna here in the shack, and I love it.  It has given me three plus solid years of service in all weather.  If you are looking for a budget friendly base antenna, look no further.  This is a great deal.  These sell for almost $100 on Amazon, and the comparable Diamond or Comet antennas start at $100 and go up from there.   https://www.homedepot.com/p/Tram-6-dBd-Gain-VHF-8-dBd-Gain-UHF-Black-Amateur-Dual-Band-Base-Antenna-WSP1480B/314731941?mtc=PSOC-FB-6254634362950&cm_mmc=PSOC-FB-6254634362950-6254634363150-6254634367150&fbclid=IwAR1PhcMmxPWDk-n66cx6gRgV5xekqueu1JkS924tBdbbDt8hP5UmQ3AalIc#product-overview  Please reach out with any questions. 73,  Charley K4NYN
