AA9ZZ recently asked:
Being new to the list I don't know what the current topics are but I
was wondering if there is any information comparing or about the no
radial verticals such at Cushcraft R-7000 or GAP.
Anyone know where I can find something?
------
The best source of information is from talking to people that have such
antennas. So, I'll put in my two cents. I've been using the HyGain DX77
no-radial vertical for a few months. It is mounted 5' off of the ground and
I have had excellent DX results with only 100 watts. The vertical is built
very well mechanically, although it does have a tendency on some bands to
detune slightly when it is raining. HyGain sent me "rain caps" but I
haven't put them on yet. All in all, I am quite satisfied with it.
