[Elecraft] OT - R8 antenna evaluation

[Robert G Strickland]

I've been following the R8 guying discussion with interest, because I 
may be in the market for a vertical in the next year or so. While I have 
read the reviews for the R8 at eHam Forum, I especially trust the 
experience of the hams here on the K3 list. I presently have a SkyHawk 
tribander at 60ft. However, an upcoming move to a new home may leave 
that combination out of the running with some sort of vertical the only 
option. So, I'm not expecting any vertical to equal the SkyHawk, but I 
would like to get a general feel for the mechanical quality and general 
performance of the R8.
Thanks in advance.
