I've been following the R8 guying discussion with interest, because I may be in the market for a vertical in the next year or so. While I have read the reviews for the R8 at eHam Forum, I especially trust the experience of the hams here on the K3 list. I presently have a SkyHawk tribander at 60ft. However, an upcoming move to a new home may leave that combination out of the running with some sort of vertical the only option. So, I'm not expecting any vertical to equal the SkyHawk, but I would like to get a general feel for the mechanical quality and general performance of the R8.
Thanks in advance.
