[TowerTalk] CUSHCRAFT R7000+

[BOB (AK6R)]

Yes you have to modify all the dimensions and it is a pain in the a**.  The
80 meter operation is also not very good and requires 3 people to erect the
antenna.  The new counterpoises for 80 meters also must be run.  I like the
10-40 model - small enough to handle by one or two people.  Forget the 80
meter add-on - in my opoinion, not worth the trouble.
