I was on 40 quite a bit, just moved and do not currently have antenna setup. Hoping to get at least a wire up in the next week or two.

I just picked up a FT-857 with an ATAS 120, should have mobile HF up and running this weekend.

Nice! I use the small yaesu because of the portability and remote head feature. I'm not presently on HF, but used a G5RV when I did. I am presently considering a 65' mast to rehang the G5RV in an inverted V rather than the flat V at 24' that I had before. Lots and lots of metal gutters here and I even have a 12'x12' pavilion with copper gutters in the back yard.

For 2M/70cm, I have an FT-60 plus a Kenwood TD-M700A dual head in the shack. I also have a buddipole for portable everything. The buddipole operation moved to about 5 miles of me a couple years ago.

Oh yeah, we actually have a Ham Radio Outlet here and a neighbor is the manager. That's sweet, let me tell you!
