While I agree that dipoles and loops work, and are much better than no
antenna, I would hesitate to recommend them to "new VHF+" ops.
I think the many hours of white noise between QSO's keeps a lot of the
new hams away from weak signal stuff. And using compromise antennas
systems will increase these hours considerably.
Put up what you can. But realize that more antenna equals more QSO's.
