Greetings Towertalkians -

It's time to expand a bit, I just got a new radio.  I'm now the proud owner 
of a Yaesu FT-847.  I'm a lowly technician right now (cant seem to get code 
down), so I'm focusing on what I can work.

I have domestic issues to contend with, so I'm staying with omni style 
antennas for now.  I did get permission from my other half to at least put 
some kind of antennas up outside.

Here's my question:  What would you use for antennas?  I want to cover 2M, 
6M, and 70cm.  Do I go for a dual bander on 2M and 70cm, and use a 
duplexer?  What about decent 6M antennas?  

Hope to hear you on the air!

73,
Troy
