Since folks are talking adding a top hat or base loading coil, why
not just extend the length of the vertical to a full 1/4
wavelength? 1/4WL = 248/50.1 MHz = 4.95 feet (59, 3/8-inch).
Connect a small alligator clip to a 11-inch piece of hookup wire and
suspend the wire with a piece of cord to "something", OR uses heavier
stiff wire that will self-support.
Now you have a resonant 1/4 wave vertical.
OR buy a 5/8 wave base-loaded 2m mobile whip - loads on 50-MHz very
nicely. That's an old trick for dual-band 6m/2m use. Try brands
like Larsen or Maxrad.
