I would highly recommend a Hexbeam HX-5Bi. It is a
very well built antenna that can survive harsh
conditions every well. It has no traps to worry with.
It has a small footprint that is easy to manage
(doesn?t require a huge tower/rotor/space). (Ever try
to put up one of those monster antennas on top of a
tower? That?s not for the faint of heart!) The
Hexbeam HX-5Bi has gain on all 5 bands 10-20. It
performs great. The company is GREAT to work with.
Its worth every penny it cost.

Although I don?t own one, I would think the next step
up would be a SteppIR 3 or 4 element. I am not
implying that the Hexbeam is weak in its performance,
it is great. However I do realize that it is not the
absolute best. The only other antenna I would
consider over the Hex is the SteppIR

Hexbeam/Orion combo.
