 Hello guys:
 
     Last weekend erect a R7000 vertical thatīs run very well.
 
     Only one problem, some aluminum tubes are so short to be adjusted to
 our 40 mts cw portion of the band (7.000-7.025), so only few inches are into
 the other section, so I am afraid in the future, with some winds, the
 vertical will be damage at this point.
 
     Now I have at my garage the 80 mts kit and have a question:
 
     The manual says that I must modify all the dimensions of the R7000 when
 I add the 80 mts section.
 
     I thought that I not need to modify the 10-40 mts R7000 and only add the
 80 mts kit up the final section.
 
     Have anyone some experience with the R7000++  vertical?????
 
     Thanks

  Why don't you ask Cushcraft why they have such short tubing. They created 
the potential wind damage problem.  I suggest you tell them to send you 
longer pieces of tubing free of charge and full instructions on all the 
changes so you don't have to ask TTer's?  They got your money for the poorly 
designed antenna--no one on TT did.  K7GCO
