The Hustlers work well; the Ham Sticks are not so
great but will work; the ICOM did not work at all for
me. After talking with friends and doing some
research, it will be screwdriver or nothing for me
from now on. That is, if a great signal is desired
over a mediocre one.

Also, try a 300 watt amp from this guy. They are
great. http://www.worth-more.com/

Good luck.
