Are you running 9913 it does this to from time to time because it gets
water inside the jacket I believe it's water problem.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Cushcraft R7


I currently have an R7 mounted at 8 feet above the ground.  The SWR
curve is
as advertised, however from time to time the SWR goes through the roof
on
every band.

I had the antenna down recently to repair the 40 meter portion and
inspected
it, but I cannot find anything loose or broken.  This doesn't seem to be
weather related.

I sent an email to Cushcraft about the problem but only got a "canned"
response back.

I suspect the "black box" has a problem, but since Cushcraft no longer
supports this antenna (even though it is only 6 years old) I am not sure
that I can replace it.

While I am not a big fan of this antenna, it is currently the only one
that
I have up for HF.

Any ideas?
