Take the 2/440 antenna off, put a 440 only gain antenna there...and
put a 2mtr 5/8wave Larsen (NMO style preferred) on another mount
and use that as 6 and 2mtrs! (Yes! Dont cut the whip and you'll
find it covers the ENTIRE 6mtr band with a good SWR)...
(You will need to get a 6m/2m diplexer for this...or build one
easily!)

OR just put a 2m NMO-150 on as the 6mtr antenna but the 2mtr part
of the dual band may react with it..
