Hi Andy: I am using the Butternut antenna and have it ground mounted. It is the 9 band version to which I have added the 160 MTR coil and made it a 10 band antenna. I have worked the world with it. I also have about 500 ft of wire running in all directions at random lengths. I am quite happy with it. I hope this will help you. 73 Lowell W8QIY P.S. If you have more questions, email me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "andy m0ceg" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 1:57 PM Subject: Cushcraft R8 > Hello All, Can anyone tell me about the cushcraft R8 8 band vertical > antenna like how good is it how many bands does it work on? any info on > this would be very grateful please. or any other vertical antenna. > Regards > > Andrew Shipp > > Located Northamptonshire UK, > Contact details > > Skype andyshipp55, > > Hotmail andyshipp54, > > Home phone +44,0,1604 517007 > > Mobile O2, 07871277450 > > Orange 07773457805 > > I am also the moderator for the blind-gardening group the manager is > [log in to unmask] > to subscribe send an email to [log in to unmask]
