>  How do the "radialless" verticals, like the R5, R7000,  MA5V, Gap ones, 
compare in performance to the standard 1/4 wave verticals that  are roof 
mounted with radials?  Does one tend to outperform the  other?  I am looking 
how each performs for DXing and longer haul  communications.
 
    You might be interested in our on-the-air  Vertical Comparison Test 
(available at _www.championradio.com_ (http://www.championradio.com) ). I don't 
remember  the details but there's a good protocol and comparisons so 
that'll give you  a good overview of their performance.
