   Bernie;
   
   I am not sure how well the R-7000 correlates with the R-7, but I used an R-7 
   with my Omni VI for many years with no problems.  The SWR/bandwidth curves 
   that I plotted for my particular setup were slightly better than those in 
the 
   Cushcraft manual, particularly on 20.  I also ran 1000 watts to it much of 
   the time with no adverse effects (no burned traps, no melt downs, etc.).  
   But, like any "compromise antenna" my full-sized dipoles outperformed it 
   virtually 100% of the time for domestic contacts.

I apologize for being a tad off topic here, but after reading the QST review 
I wondered what my Ten-Tec brothers and sisters would have to say.
   
Has anyone used the R-7000 vertical?  I'm generally not a vertical kinda guy, 
but have a need for something protable to take out in the boonies with my Boy 
Scout troop (and the Omni) and am considering the R-7000.
   
Would welcome experiences or thoughts.  Thanks.
