You're going to not like the horrible gain of a LPDA, they are not
much better than a dipole.
If you're not opposed to building antennas, here's a really cheap and
easy way to make some CW/SSB VHF yagis.

I understand the gain trade off's of an LPDA but something like the
KMA144-460 was attractive as you get it down to one boom and one
feedline.  I am also familiar with Kent's antennas and have actually
built, used and since given away a few of them.

The Gulf Alpha has ~ 11dBi on 432 & ~12dBi on 144

I find it interesting that since I sent them an email about the broken
link to M2, the description of the antenna on their web-site is gone.
