I now have a dual-band diplexer on my dual-band vertical, so operating 
UHF is now possible running 60w from the IC9700.  I run 90w on 2m with 
the IC9700.

Dual-band vertical is 170-feet from the new hamshack and 26 feet above 
ground (approx 200 foot of LMR-400 with 3-dB loss).

New dual-band vertical is same size but will be mounted at 30-foot and 
attached on end of hamshack with 35-feet of LMR-600 (0.5 dB loss?).
