I've worked 7 countries on 10 meter since I've had my tech license in 2013, and that was with a mobile radio in my pickup. I'm building a 10m dipole currently. It might be up today. Its 26° out right now, and my fingers are frozen.
All I have for equipment so far, is my 10m mobile, and my 2m mobile, and 2 Dual band HT's (2m/440). I do have both mobile radios in the garage, and using a power supply to run them. Some day I'll have a nice HF Rig.
