Last August, Hi-world did a piece on aerials, a copy may be available
from their subscriptions department. They suggested a Antiferance 3
element VHF aerial and an All-rounder dipole ( the round element) it all

Those round things may have made sense if you needed an omni in the days
when VHF transmissions were only horizontally polarized, but these days
all are vertical or mixed for mobile reception, so a vertical dipole is
better.
