[Antennas] Cushcraft R-8 vertical

[Adam Farson]

Hi Lou,

I have had an R8 installed at my QTH for 5 years. After a rocky start with a
design flaw in the 17/20m trap which Cushcraft corrected, the antenna has
been performing flawlessly. I have it mounted on a 20ft push-up pole,
attached to the side of my house. The base is 10ft clear of the roof-line.

The R8 has 2 traps - 17/20m and 30m - an uses tuning stubs for the higher
bands, The entire length of the radiator is used on 40m. The performance is
noticeably better than that of my previous vertical, a Hy-Gain DX-77A.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ
