i got several responses to my vertical antenna question. the antenna most liked
was the cushcraft r7 or r7000. the next one was the hy-gain product. both the
gap and the new force12 antenna were given good grades. the force 12 antenna
covers only 10-20m. the cushcraft r7000 needs radials for the 80m kit. there
was
no clear cut winner, so i think we will chose either the hy-gain or a gap
product, the gap being center feed. thanks to all those who responded and i
hope
this helps those who wanted the information.
