[RTTY] GAP Verticals

[Jim McDonald]

I had one up for about four years in Albuquerque.  I found it pretty good on
75, pretty similar to an inverted vee, and surprisingly good on 40 (not far
below my 3L Force 12).  On 20 it was very disappointing, and on 160 it was
only fair (was a struggle to work east of the Mississippi).

It did OK in high winds, with the two sets of four rope guys holding it.
Raising it is the scary part, as you probably need three or four helps to
keep it from buckling on the way up.

I need a good 80/40 meter vertical to help me finish off 5 Band DXCC, and
I've been looking at the GAP Voyager. It would also give me 160 meters,
which I would love to try. Anyone have any experience with this antenna, and
if it would survive a Wisconsin winter?
