My current HF-Equipment is an ICOM 706 which puts its power into a 30 feet inverted-V about 30 feet above ground (about 150 ft MSL). The TRX is matched to the antenna by a DAIWA CL-680 Manual Tuner. For 2m/144MHz "DX" my mast holds a rotatable 9-Element Yagi made by "Flexyagi". Local 2m/440MHz FM-Traffic is done by two mobile Kenwood rigs, TM251 & TM451, the later also serves as a packet-radio-trx for 9k6. Both rigs feed their power into a 2m/70cm duoband-grondplane-antenna..
