Cushcraft has spare-part problems in mij experience and Hygain not for
starters.
I had a Cushcraft R6000 and now a Hygain AV620 who has the same designer.
The pro for the AV620 is that the antenna has no traps only stubs.
IMHO the AV620 performs better then the R6000.
Wolfgangs advise to guy the antenne is treu because the antenna is catching
wind.That's also for the R6000.
IMHO the mount-material from Cuscraft is better then Hygain and the time to
contruct a R6000 is a lot shorter then a AV620.

A lot of thank's for your answer.
Hy gain is a good antenna.
Why did you choose it and not Cushcraft or other antenna?
Seems that Hy Gain has less looses? Is this ok?

Thank's a lot

I need an antenna like Cushcraft R8, Gap Titan, Diamond
CP-6 or something
like that with integrated radial systems.

My Hy-Gain AV-640 does a very good job. But dont forget
- none of these antennas can be mounted without guy
ropes. I use 3mm 'starter-rope' that is sold in hardware
stores. They label it as UV resistant and having 180kg
max. This rope was made as a starting rope for lawnmower.

The radials a steel elements. around 1 m, hanging down
very deep.
