VHF lowband require large antennas. CH 2 is 54-60MHz of which the wavelength is just under 6 meters. The antenna must be a specific length based on the wavelength. Lowband antennas even for a quarter wavelength dipole are still large and unwieldy. Probably best to stick to UHF since the antennas are much smaller (on the order of 4-5 inches for a quarter wave or twice that for half wave. Plus UHF has the advantage of lower man made noise.
