The dipole is a very good option. i am currently using one with my base and have been easily talking to a buddy in my mobile setup 10 miles away. and that is using a 18 ft half wave dipole set up in the house. I am sure an outdoor setup would be much better

is there a place where i can buy a dipole i am not very handy

There is a seller on ebay that has them on alot. Look up 11 meter dipole.
