It's been a number of years since I had a mobile setup, but back in the day I talked all over, including internationally, from my old GMC truck. At various times I used a Cobra 148GTL, an RCI-2970, and a TRC-449, with a Palomar 200 under the seat and a 108 inch whip on the front bumper of the truck. There were some select spots near the Ocean where I would park and would often get out better than I did from my home QTH !

Just got an Anytone 6666 and it's going into my Rav4 today, so I will once again have a mobile setup. Gonna be fun !

. . . a 108 inch whip on the front bumper of the truck.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

It was fairly common back then to do a bumper mount. Those darn things were so long they would take out the lights in parkades and tear off small overhanging branches as you drove down the road LOL! But they work really really well for a mobile antenna !

Oh yeah. Saw them on the back bumper plenty. Just never saw one on the front.

I also have worked many country's from the mobile.
Japan, Taiwan, (both AM & FM), S. Africa, Asiatic Russia, Chile, Cook Islands, Indonesia, Marianas Islands & many many more from Europe.
These contacts were in a 1982 F-150 with Predator 10K hard mounted to roof and 300 Messenger amp.

And yes, all on 11 meters!
