[VHFcontesting] Antenna Debate

[Jacob Lauser]

Okay, so I'm moving from Pennsylvania to California in two weeks, and
I've already started planning my new UBER station at the new QTH.
Looks like I'll be limited to a 40-foot tower, so I want to make the
most of it.

Any thoughts on decent antennas?

I've recently become enamored with FM Satellite work, as it is lots of
fun, and I also want to do regular VHF/UHF contesting on 10m, 6m, 2m,
440, and 220. So far, I have built one antenna (2m) and am working on
two more:

I was also considering a 4.0 meter satellite boom with 2m/440 on it,
sort of like an Arrow Antenna on Crack (see picture at the bottom of
the G0KSC main page here: http://www.g0ksc.co.uk/):

What say you?
