I use a Tarheel Screwdriver antenna (HP200) and it is controlled with
a N3VZ Turbo Tuner
and I use an Icom IC-706MKIIG. I operate 10 thru 80 meters CW mobile.
I love this setup and it works great. I work a lot of DX and traffic
nets also.
Hope all is well. Gud DX

 I used a 8.5' SS CB whip fed by a SGC 230 autotuner about 18" from
the tuner output just inside the trunk. Ground was made INSIDE the
trunk to be protected from corrosion. The 18" wire was test lead wire
with a good HV rating.
 It covered 10 - 80 and once my usual watering holes were in tuner
memory, band switching was nearly instantaneous. Surprisingly, 10
meters was a little sketchy to tune though. I don't know why. HTH.

 Love doing hf mobile. Have kilowatt Hustler antenna's for 10 -80. Can

 run three or four of them on a single mast using a special mount.
Even 
 have a separate coil for 160. Got a screw driver antenna antenna too,

 and so far that is working out ok too. Very interested in hearing
your 
 feedback on what you like using ...
