    Great video David. So fun to watch a guy get that excitement on a long
    distance mobile QSO with nice gear that he purchased with his hard earned
    money! I really enjoyed this. Great job buddy! I have the FT-857d and need

    another push. 73

    Thank you everyone so much for watching! Blackgoldestates, I’m sure roof
    mounting would make this screw driver work amazing, but I’m not sure how
    well the roof would hold up that weight. Actually I just can’t bring my
    self to drill on such a new truck… ; )
