[ICOM] Best antenna for 706 mobile?

[jduerbusch at charter.net]

Very good on going mobile HF.  I think you will have a very good time with it.  The Icom 706MK2G is a fine rig.  As far as antenna's, I think that you have already go many fine comments.  The AH4 antenna tuner is fine but the Icom antenna is way over priced.  

I do not have much of a drive to and from work so my main bands I wanted to operate was 20/17/15/10.  I am also cheap so I could not justify the screwdriver antenna when I wasn't sure I would like HF in the car.  So I went with the Huster antenna's.  Whole setup less than $100.00

Here is an article on my installation.  It works very well but I don't have anything to compare it to.  Just that when I call someone or call CQ they always come back.  Longest in the car has been VK land and 100's of Q's into Europe and Africa.  Good luck and check out my installation.
