[Antennas] Vertical

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 23:12:55 -0800

Hi Jim,

I have been using a Cushcraft R8 on a push-up mast attached to the side of
my house for about 3 years, and am very happy with it. The base of the
antenna is about 10 ft. above the roof-line, and the overall height is 50
ft.

The R8 covers 40 through 10m, including the 3 WARC bands. It uses heavy-duty
traps for 30 and 20/17m, and tuning stubs for all other bands except 40m.
The main radiator is tuned to 40m.

Best 73,

I am wondering if anyone one the list has had any luck using one of the
better known verticals such as Butternut, Gap, Cushcraft  ect without
radials? I have a tower I can crank up to about 40 feet but no room for
radials. I have a autotuner for my ham radio but I also want to use it
for SWLING.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
