Actually for my 150 I bought a second one and mounted it on the other side. They were not expensive when you consider the mounting requirements and the wide bandwidth. The rod antennas sold for cropdusters etc. are very stiff and heavy so would damage the C150 they are cheaper I got one from ACS but cut it off and welded a tapered stainless steel rod from a radiotelephone antenna supplier instead. Its OK for my microlight where i also have a couple of minature R/T antenna bases on but for a C150 you would need something that looks like it has TSO approval.....
