Byron,
Congratulations on your new FT 710, I’ve heard very good things about that transceiver.  Antennas as I’m sure you’re aware, are a broad area of interest.  BTW, I’ve also heard good things about the ATAS antenna, especially about its ease of use, though I’ve never owned one myself.  My first HF antenna was the Wolf River Coils TIA 1000 which I still own.  There’s also the DX Commander Classic and the EFHW antennas that may fit the bill.

Again, congratulations and have a good time in the hobby!

73,
Stephen (W2WF)

I have the 710 and ATAS120 as well. It works great. Also if you can get a hold of a EFHW antenna that would be great as well.

Jeremy, 

Thanks for the reply.  I got the FT-710 yesterday at the hamfest.  Ham Radio had a nice show discount vs their internet price.

I found this Googling for ATas.  Is this what you have?

Blessings,

Thinking of buying Ft-710 as my first HF radio. I'd also need an antenna. I've never worked HF, so I don't know what I should get.  Any thoughts are appreciated.
