any antenna will work on any frequency, it's a matter of "how well". It
will have many deep lobes, and dead spots.

Just curious.

Does anyone know if a plan exists for a two band ground plane antenna?

If you buy a cheap 2 meter 440 magmount antenna from MFJ it would be an easy
matter to convert it into a groundplane.

2Mt 5/8 wavelength antennas often use a matching coil that
will NOT pass 440RF.

Your question makes no sense. Did you mean 2 metres?

The question made perfect sense. He asked basically if an antenna for 2
meters (however YOU choose to spell it) which covers 144-148 MHz - would
work on 440 MHz. I do believe someone already answered his question with a
reliable answer. Just because you choose to spell it a different way does
not make it a senseless question. I see many posts from other countries
here - people who spell words far differently than us in America. IF not
spelled differently, then they join many here IN America with very poor
spelling (for whatever reason), but still their questions are read and
answered - WITH what they are wanting to know. It is replies like yours that
chases people away from asking for good information - wanting to know - when
they don't have the answers available otherwise.

Hey Lou - don't bother about BOG - the guy isa total ****** with an
unhealthy interest in horses and their reproductive areas (self admitted).
He is a pedantic tosser who rarely value adds anything to a conversation,
rather he insists on correcting peoples spelling and grammatical construct.
My suggestion is to add him to your blocked senders list (like many of us in
VK already have).
