I assume you are talking 2 meter antennas, if so about one of the
best commercial antennas you could use is the DB products 224. This
antenna has 6DB gain omni directional or 9DB in one direction if
configured for that mode. This antenna is virtually lightning immune
due to grounded construction. We have a converted recycled commercial
db224 which has been up 5+ years on top of a 150ft water tank with no
maintenance required to date. The cost is about $500 from Tessco with
the antenna cut to the 2 meter band.
Best of luck in your endevor.

I'd like to get some input on what is available for 2 Meter's for an
antenna. I've considered using 4 beam antenna's, and yes I have
seen this setup, don't know exactly how it is working, but there is
a setup in Valparaiso that has three 8 element beam antenna's side
mounted on the top of a tower. But as for verticles, what is
available. I have a DB304 right now, just not sure what is all
involved in getting it to come down to the 2 meter band.
