I am going to make a base station antenna out of two 5' Firestiks. Am trying to decide between a ground plane and a dipole. The GP would have one antenna as the vertical and the other angled beneath it as the radial.
I will be mounting in close proximity (less than a foot) from horizontal aluminum rain gutter along the eave of my house.
Everything else being the same (height, coax length, etc.), which would be the better antenna?

One-Radial Ground Plane vs Dipole
