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.

p.s. it's the real man that contests with a 2X3 call and a straight key
