That is part of the reason i upgraded is to run a little HF both from home and on the road.
Yea me too. If you want to test out anything and see how propagation between us is, let me know. I have a home shack set up and working on mobile for my Earthcruiser this summer. I can get Arizona, Colorado, Utah pretty easy on worst days.

KI5FBR here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’m running a Icom 4100 in my Tacoma. It’s been a great rig.
Welcome to the hobby.....if you choose to go that route.
The Tulsa Amateur Radio club has a pretty nice linked repeater system, probably the only reason I went with a dual band mobile.

Thanks for the welcome. I haven’t joined a club yet but I’ve been looking. I have a lot to learn and that be a good place to start. Interesting you said “if you choose to go that route”. I originally wanted a ham for remote communication but I’m quickly learning there is so much more to it. I heard a conversation the other day on the DStar repeater between a guy in the U.K., a guy in Ohio, and a guy in Budapest, Hungary. It was pretty cool and interested me greatly.

There are a few of us here that are ham hobbyist but there are many (most) that just look at ham for trail comms so I have to remind myself that most of the conversation here is primarily geared towards that and few have any interest in going further.
