Alexis: I rather doubt any 2-meter antenna is going to be broad banded enough to cover over 6 to 10 MHz range. Asking an antenna to cover from 144 thru 154 MHz to me seems like a pretty tall order!
Asking an 11-meter antenna to go 2 MHz up the band is not bad.
My HB covers from about 29.6 MHz down to below 28 easily.
GL, but think that's a reach even if the 2-meter antenna tuned for say 2:1 at middle of band (146 MHz) still a very long way to get to even 151(+)-154 range
All the Best
Gary

PS: My 2 meter antenna barely covers the whole band ...FLAT at <144.200 about 2:1+ at 147.5...just my experience (Diamond FH23H 3-5/8ths stacked)
Works great @45 ft. to bottom (most generally 60-100 mile range)
