Bill,
What are the expectations? Are we talking about POTA type activations?
I have used a 20m dipole up 20 or 30 ft and done fine. I mobile a lot
and if you can get Hustler resonators up in the air like above a shell
of a pickup they work well.
The 25ft extendable antenna piqued my interest too. Use 2 or 3 tape
measure elevated radials and it should work ok. I was impressed with
the R8. Not simple to reduce down to 6 ft and not available new. I
feel it is better than the R7. Both need to be up about 10ft to work
the best. 1/2 wave no radials.
Getting any of the coils off the ground 6ft or more makes a big
difference. Everything is going to be a tradeoff.
We are going camping next month and I am trying to figure out what I
want to do.
