<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">Dave<div>I started with a Don Johnson DK3 screwdriver antenna and operated mobile for years. Have since graduated to HiQ (a top of the line mobile antenna) and operate mobile with it as well. No tuner is required as both types of “screwdriver” antennas IS the tuner. These type antennas are tuned to the frequency you wish to operate, which makes it resonant at that frequency. <br>73<br><div dir="ltr">Mike <div>AD7GC<div>Sent from my iPad</div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Nov 27, 2021, at 21:40, Mike Williams <kb7klt@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto">I've operated my Don Johnson DK3 while cruising down hiway and while parked.

Maybe there are some brands that “require” operating only while stationary but that’s news to me. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Roger<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Roger Weed, Ph.D.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">KV4I (ex KL7HOT)<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">HIDARG member<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">VE (ARRL and Laurel Certified) <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">ARES Lake County, Florida<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">SKYWARN certified<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">C: 770.378.3716<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><a href="mailto:ROWeed2009@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span style="color:blue">ROWeed2009@gmail.com</span></a> <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #e1e1e1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:MAIN@HiDARG-Shack.groups.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">MAIN@HiDARG-Shack.groups.io</a> <<a href="mailto:MAIN@HiDARG-Shack.groups.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">MAIN@HiDARG-Shack.groups.io</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dave "Doc" Green - N5LR<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, November 27, 2021 12:59<br><b>To:</b> HiDARG Members <<a href="mailto:hidarg-members@hidarg.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">hidarg-members@hidarg.org</a>>; <a href="mailto:HiDARG-Shack@groups.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">HiDARG-Shack@groups.io</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [HiDARG-Shack] Mobile HF<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><br clear="all"><u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">For those of you running mobile HF, I am exploring antenna options.
