Fred, a ham friend gave me his old Cushcraft vertical which 
covers 20 through 10 meters including 17 and 12 meters.  I think 
it's the r-6 but am not sure.  Sorry about that.  73, Jim WA6EKS

Jim, what cushcraft vertical antenna do you use?  Also, do you 
remember the
length?  Thanks

Mike, I am using one of those antennas here on 80 through 10 
meters.  It's
82 feet long which works fine on our property which is a rather 
small lot.
I am impressed with the rugged construction though I wonder about 
the fact
that they use solid copper rather than stranded copper wire.  I 
can't give
you any scientific stat's on it, like comparisons with other 
dipoles, but I
like it.  I also use a Cushcraft vertical on 20 through 10 meters 
and
switch between it and the DXCC antenna.  It seems to depend on 
the
distance from stations, and general band conditions which antenna 
works
best at any given time.  Anyway, that's my 1.5  cents on the DXCC 
antenna.
