[TowerTalk] Cushcraft

[Leonard Kay]

Not this ham's experience. YMMV, I guess. My R7 seems to have 
blown a trap, and I Emailed them last week for some help in diagnosing
which trap might be blown. I put together quite a detailed summary
of the experiments and measurements I had already done. I suggested
even a chart of resonant frequencies for each trap would be helpful.

I was told to buy a book that MFJ sells on Repairing Multiband
Antennas, and, by the way, "I would suspect either a trap or
the matching section." No joke.

Needless to say, I seriously doubt I'll ever buy a Cushcraft antenna again.
