Fred, I am in CA.  near San Francisco.  We have a small house 
with not much room in the backyard, and no room for a bunch of 
ground radials.  I already have an old cushcraft vertical on 10 
through 20 but thought it would be nice to have a vertical on 40 
and 80.  Thought I would just replace the cushcraft with a a Gap 
Titan using the same mast which would put the base of the Gap 
around 10 feet above ground level right behind our old garage.

The Gap Eagle is a vertical that requires no radials.  I have one 
and it
works pretty well except for 40 meters.  The Gap Eagle uses 
counter poise
rods instead of ground radials.  Where are you located?

Subject: Gap antennas

The Gap Titan antenna does not require ground radials, so they 
say.  Gap
makes a number of antennas including one that covers
160 meters, but it's 45 feet tall and has a capacitance hat on 
it.  The
Titan is a 25 foot antenna that covers 10 through 80 meters and 
costs $429
I think.  Would be interested in feedback about Gap antennas if 
anyone has
information on them.  Jim WA6EKS
