Use a TS-430S into two butternut vert. 1/4 spaced 1/4 wave delay pointing west on 40, also have the 160 coils on them. For a little power I have a 160-10L case, guts of been modified :-)
At times with fire up the TS-820S or the Swan. Love playing with tube radios and amps.

Prior to the move I was running an IC-7410 into Ameritron AL-811 for a little kick and an AT-600ProII tuner all into inverted G5RV at about 55 ft. Using HRD for rig control and logging.

Backup rig is a FT450AT.

FT 8900 in the truck, however except for a couple repeaters 2m is pretty dead here, 70 is even worse. So I will be removing the FT8900 and installing the FT857 to get on HF.
