I am currently deciding on a last minute antenna build project. I currently have a (previously flown) Jpole antenna with a VSWR of 2, and numerous V6 dipole antennas (from Byonics). I have ordered a new APRS tracker from Byonics (MicroTrack AIO HA), and will arrive with a new V6 dipole. I am flying with two of these trackers. The new tracker will get the best antenna I have.
For my situation what is the best option,
-Fly with V6 dipole
-Fly with homeade dipole
-Fly with homemade jpole
Factors (in no order)
Simplicity
Cost
Weight
Gain/Range
Final option,
Is there an antenna for HAB that I could order and expect to arrive before the 14th.
