Concur on insulated wire. Today I set up a 30' vertical fling insulated wire with a grounding stake off the radio. Basically a large whip antenna. Terrain was dense jungle and no clear view of the sky.

Again first shot out of the box hit the base station with strong signals. Interestingly enough I tried the same antenna without the grounding rod and had no luck
