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
