When you mentioned a 6 meter through 160 Meter radio I wondered if there is even available one antenna that would actually handle all those bands.
Have you found a mobile antenna that will do 6, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 80, 160?
I searched and much to my amazement I found one but its pricey. HD 6-160
I was ready to take my technician exam 3 months ago but didn't because of covid restrictions.
You can take it online as well but you have to have 2 cameras fixated on you at all times. One on your hands and keyboard and one aimed strait at your face and I didn't have that capability. Plus you have to give them a tour around the room so the examiners can make sure you don't have cheat sheets hanging all over the place.
This is an awesome sample study site plus the online tests are available all over the world when the student is ready or local it will tell where the local tests are too.

I'm a volunteer examiner for ARRL and W5YI and help proctor the online exams for my local club. We don't require 2 cameras. Just one is sufficient, so if you have a webcam on your laptop or desktop, as long as we can see your face it's fine. We do ask you to share your desktop over zoom while you take the test and do a quick around the room on camera to make sure there aren't any test aids.Last edited: Mar 27, 2022

I'm happy to see this thread gravitate towards antennas because I was curious how I would work that out with all the different needs for the various bands and frequencies while having it mounted to the truck.

What got me interested in Ham was the quest to make my 11 meter antenna's get out and recieve better and ham guys have a lot to say on that subject.
I asked the question the other day about an Italilion made WW2 plane in an RC model forum about what radio might have been in it.
Turns out it had a 60 to 100 meter radio that operated on telegraphy and telephony and had an antenna from the top of the rudder to the top of the ####pit.
How they made that work on 100 meters is a mystery to me or 60 for that matter..Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
