"Vehicle":1997 Isuzu Rodeo w/4WD.
(A real "vehicle" has NO non-commercial purpose/use)!!!
No "permanently" mounted radios/antennae (yet).
Still need to buy a mount for my 10m "rig" a power cord, the mounting knobs and antenna/mount/coax.
I also want to buy a HF rig and mount/use it from the "car".
I'll most likely use my dual band mag NMO mount for 2m/70cm, and my Wouxun HT (IF I ever get it back from Cheapham.com)!

Worked my first station in a communist country today - Boulder, Colorado. :sombrero:
J/K, really it was a guy in Santiago de Cuba. The lower bands are really open and propagating lately; in the last week I've worked Greece, Japan, Norway, Germany, and The Netherlands (besides Cuba), mostly on 10 meters though a few on 17 meters. All with only a 100-watt mobile radio and a portable antenna. Ham radio is a great hobby if you like to meet and talk to people from other countries. Like taking a mini-expedition without leaving home or your truck.

10 Meters has been fantastic these last few months, I hope it stays open and propagating for a long time to come. You can work the whole world on it currently; Europe in the morning and Japan and the rest of the Pacific in the afternoon/evening. The other HF bands are fun too but 10M really kicks butt during the daytime. Good luck on your General Class exam.
