Title: ST2 Antennacraft Base Antenna

Don't have a lot of money, this fits my budget but if i have to step it up i can. i just assume anything from the aviation antenna section here is better than the car antenna suction cupped to my bedroom window. just wondering if this would be suitable for use. just asking since i havent seen my feed in the list for a while and was wondering if it was because of the poor quality static.

For air-band (118-136 MHz) the best value is a ground plane (GP126) from Arrow Antennas:
