I'm using the Hustler CG-144 colinear antenna
with the radial kit. The antenna is 42' above
ground and fed with 35' of Flexi 4XL coax.

This antenna is apparantly a 1/4 wave phased into
a 5/8 wave and is working well.

My question is what impedance (SWR) would
this antenna sho on 446 mhz? I don't have a 440
mobile but I do have a VX-2R HT and I hooked
it up on 440 to this antenna and it seemed to
perform well.

446/3 = 148.7 so a 2m antenna will often resonate on 440 MHz.
The trouble usually is a high radiation angle on 3x the
fundamental frequency for ordinary verticals. How the above
antenna would radiate on 446 MHz is an educated guess. My
guess is at a very high radiation angle. But if it hits the
repeater you want to hit, it's "working".
