Yeah, maybe a little bit better with something like a J-Pole.  I also recall
an article from QST about four years ago by a ham in Ontario who designed a
very nice indoor two-meter antenna, I think it was a yagi that he could
mount in his attic.

Unfortunately, I don't have the article and that's all I can recall about
it.  The magmounts need a counterpoise, so if you don't have a large metal
area, almost anything should work better.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: Indoor 2 Meter Antenna


What is the best solution for an indoor two-meter antenna for a base
transceiver?  I have been using a mobile mag mount for years and it works
fairly well, but can I get better gain from something else?
