[Mobile-Portable] HI-Q or Tarheel

[Jim Vaughan]

Hi Rick,

I have two Tarheel antennas.  Both are the Model 200.  I tune them with the 
Turbo Tuner and I
run Icom IC-706MKIIG on HF and Icom IC-2720 duoband for VHF/UHF.

I wouldn't have any other antenna.  I can get to the Navy-Marine Corps MARS 
frequencies
with them and also to the top end of ten meters.  For the lower frequencies 
I use a 6 ft. whip
and for 10 meters I use a 5 ft. whip.

Hope this helps.  Good Luck.

73,
Jim, K4TXJ/NNN0YYT
Louisville, Ky.
