I hate to say it but there sure is a bunch of ignorance here concerning VHF antennas
In article s.com,
"Wilbur Hubbard" wrote: For transmitting you need a good coax cable with clean tight fittings. You need the shielding on the outside so the signal goes all the way to the antenna and out the top (the antenna itself) and not bleeding out the sides of the cable. For receiving you don't need coax at all. You could stick a freaking coat hanger into the center part of the connecter at the radio and receive just fine. If you aren't receiving well it's because your receiver is on the fritz or going on the fritz. Fiddling around with your coax or antenna is a waste of time. I hope this helps because I'm through wasting my time with a bunch of rank radio newbs who won't freaking listen to reason. Wilbur Hubbard IT is a good thing you aren't trying to pass yourself off as a Marine Radioman, because the above certainly demonstrates, that your knowledge of VHF Radio Technology, RF Transmission Lines and Antenna Theory is sadly lacking....
