Same here, have had mine up and going after fixing it last summer, went thru
winter very well, not a sign of detoriation at all. Still works like a top.
Now I don't know if anyone else did check the antenna with an antenna tuner
(mfj 259 or whichever)
Did check mine out last year will doing the installation and found the
antenna to resonant not to badly at all on 6 meters, and also on 80, where
it would be a real compromise antenna. A bit hight on swr , but in a pinch i
am sure it could be use with a tuner on at least 80 meters. Someday will
check it out on the air on 80 meters to really find out what is what with
it.

Just some feedback about R-7.

I have used one for many years, right after it first came out. NO
PROBLEMS. I
have it on a telescoping TV mast. The bottom of it is about 20 feet up.

On 40 it is adjusted for CW portion, and use built-in AT in rigs for a
match
there.

Elsewhere it has acceptable SWR for each band.
