[TowerTalk] Opinions on the Cushcraft R-7000+ Vertical --

[LUST AUCTION SERVICES - Verona, WI]

HELP--

Lost enough parts from several antennas in recent 55++ MPH 
winds here in south central Wisconsin to render my tower 
mounted wires & metal antennas questionable, at best, for winter
season - and no time in current cold weather to repair them until
spring, I fear -- (Strongest winds ever recorded in our area!)

SO, thought I might struggle through the winter with a temporary
ground or roof mount all band RADIAL-LESS (no room for radials!)
vertical -- have read specs. on Cushcraft's R-7000+ (w/R-80 80 mtd.
extra kit) -- 

Any opinions?  Good or bad, pro or con -- NOTE that I have never
used a vertical before but wish to use such a multi-band just to get by--

Thanks for suggestions --

If I was to use the R7000+, would you suggest ground post mounted 
(on fence type support?) or roof top or at the top of 80 ft. tower??
