[TowerTalk] HF Vertical Opinions NEEDED...

[Gedas]

Mike, any idea on how your R8 performs vs. another vertical, say a ground mounted type with radials?  I think that would be very interesting.

I have a couple of R8 Verticals that are elevated and they work pretty well.
The do not require any radials.  Most other verticals will require radials.
Even the BigIR requires radials.

Actually - the report that K7LXC did, is a good, well written report, with
good experimental data to back up the claims.  It certainly helped me make
an informed decision based on DATA as opposed to opinions.....

Opinions are like a A...holes - everyone has them.  But data is worth the
price.....

        While we didn't test the  SteppIR, there are a bunch of other
verticals that we tested in our vertical  antenna comparison report
