Hello,
Please, has anyone out there any experience of using a Cushcraft R7000
vertical ant?
I was thinking of buying one second-hand.

Hi,

Excellent vertical. Over 295 DXCC confirmed in several years.
Less good during low solar cycle as now, but still good, much better than
any G5RV (I use now). A bit sensitive to QRM.
Works fine at ground level with soft radials burried into the ground but
best results are obtained at about10m high (on a small pylon) and with 10
radials in the ground.

Another ham used it too : see his QSL album on http://www.qsl.net/on4ldu/
