Hello All, I'm looking at installing my 706 G in the truck for HF use and
am looking for suggestions as to which screwdriver antenna (or other?) you
would recommend.
It will go on a small truck.
Thanks!

May I suggest the Carolina Cyclone antenna? I am the builder of this product
and I can save you a bit of money.
I build them of .065 wall aluminum, the coils are of black nylon and the
wire is #14 tinned copper wound at 8 turns per inch. They are solid
performers and come in 2" and 3" diameters. Most screwdrivers are basically
the same, but one should avoid those that use PVC coil forms and flimsy
contact stock. Mine have no PVC and all parts are machined for precise fit
and finish. Before you purchase, won't you visit
www.qsl.net/k4kwh . I can
save you money on your purchase and give you pleasing asthetics and
perfomance as well. The Carolina Cyclone has been shipped all over the USA
and are serving well (

Best Wishes and Happy Holidays,
