 With that antenna you sure got a lot of bang for the buck and it require
hardly any space.

Hi all!  I had the R5 and it was the best multi-band vertical I have ever
used.  The nice thing about that antenna is that unlike most multi-band
verticals, it uses the whole antenna on 10 meters, and actually has some
gain.  I wouldn't ever use a ground mounted vertical on 10, because most of
them trap out everything but the bottom 8 feet, so you basically have a
quarter wave ground plain, sitting on the ground!
