suckered into it last year at the Miami hamfest because I dont have room for
anything but a vertical (especially on 160M) . A few days after I bought it,

Actually Larry, this is probably the best way to proceed; since opinions can
vary all over the map, you can collate them and let everyone know what the
concensus appears to be.
But if you want a few public comments... I should mention that years ago,
when I worked in a (now defunct) ham store, I
Sorry you're unhappy with the GAP Challenger. Just a couple things though.
It is resonant on 80 meters but not 160 meters, so it is no surprise you

I've had my HF6V close to 20 years, and I've never had the
caps break. I even have a spare set that someone gave me so that I'd be

Danaher;
Check out the K7LXC/N0AX report available from www.championradio.com.

According to GAP, the VOYAGER covers 160 (90 KHz),

I'll be sure to keep my spare set handy also! ;-)
I've had my trusty HF6V for 13 (hope that's not an omen) years. It has
performed extremely well all things considered. It's been through 3 moves,
2 states several field days. The only thing I've ever had to do to it is
