Nice setup, I bet you get great reports on SSB!! That radio looks massive in your truck for some reason, Might just be the angel
 
you have a good setup, but your antenna is mounted wrong. you should never mount your 102in whip on the bumper.... reason being your gonna get radiation and its too low. if i was you i would either get a bed toolbox and mount it there or mount it in the bed of the pic up. be sure to ground your antenna as well it makes a difference.
 
The only difference I would have made would be to mount the antenna on the passenger side for more signal going towards the oncoming traffic for road info. But all around this is a nice setup. Clean looking install also.
 
People ran wips on the bumper for decades.. it will be fine.

.But as for that HR2600..now thats a bad ass radio and sure is a talker..if you are an 11m guy, get an astatic m6b on that bad boy and it will scream.. i ran that radio from around 1992 to 2005. Best AM talking radio i ever owned..
 
I have known several folks through out the years that either run or have run your set up and same antenna placement and they all got out very well

Good rig !! Should serve you very well (y)
