    car - antenna install question

    "for right now it will be for 2m and 440 ... but after i upgrade my lisc may include the lower stuff as well." Most VHF/UHF antennas by Comet and Diamond DO NOT NEED A GROUND. I have several Antennas and Mounts by them that do not require a ground and I can open repeaters up to 90 miles away.
