I am contemplating replacing my BW Wideband Folded Dipole with
a Cushcraft R8, the successor to the R7, as my main HF
antenna. The BW is best described as a resistor with wires -
about 10% efficient although it does cover all amateur bands
from 160m to above 10m equally badly. I will
it into an inverted L so I can
start getting out on 80 meters.
Hope this helps.
Best,

Phil,
The R8 has been discontinued for some time so I assume you have a line
on a used one. There has been some issues with getting parts for the
older Cushcraft verticals. I've had most of the so-called no-radial
verticals and the Cushcraft is more or less the middle of the pack. I

Phil and all,
Sorry, I was thinking of the R7 - the R8 is still in production.
