I am thinking about adding a second radio/station here. My
single tower presently consists of 76 ft of Rohn 45 with a pair of
TH7s, a 40-2CD and wires on 80/160. I do NOT want to put up a
second tower, so looking at a multiband vertical. (Any other ideas?
Remember. I want to keep it simple.)
I reviewed the archives of Towertalk this weekend, and see the
subject of best vertical has been raised before. It seems that most
peferred the Cushcraft R-7 or R-7000. Is this still the case?
The R7000 is advertised as no radials needed. Would using radials
improve performance? What is the recommended height for the vertical?
Any comments appreciated.
Tnx/Barry
