About that 'Cushcraft R8'. Read the specs very carefully! Expected bandwidth on each band really is a biggy. If you don't plan to move around on most bands, a narrow bandwidth is not a problem. If you plan to go from one end to the other on the lower HF bands, forget it. The higher HF bands work just fine. (Had an R-7. It worked. Wasn't thrilled with the price at all, but it worked. 40 meters worked okay in one spot, NOT the whole band. I've still got parts of it around here, you want'em?)
