[VHFcontesting] Looking for a good VHF/UHF rover antenna

[Dave Larsen (WS2L)]

Hopefully for the September contest I want to enter as a rover and travel to several grids. I am looking for a fairly small antenna as at least one of the locations I will be operating from is 1,800 feet ASL. I have been looking at the Cushcraft A270-10S which operates on 144 & 432 MHz and is on a 6' boom. The other antenna is also a Cushcraft, the A627013S which operates on 50, 144 and 432 MHz and is on a boom that is a little longer than 8'. Both of these antennas can be easily mounted and used in my pick up truck. I'm curious if anyone here has used and/or have any comments or opinions on these antennas. I just bought a 13B2 for the house so once it goes up it stays up.

Tnx everyone,
Dave .... WS2L
