I have a R7000 about 8ft off the ground. Cushcraft say if you go higher than
17ft it will not work as well. I worked 100 countries in one year starting
at the bottom of the cycle! Mine is in a woods surrounded by trees and still
worked well. I now have a 50ft tower with two Force12 ants on it and there
is no comparison. I still use the R7000 on 30m and 40m. For what it is I
would highly recommend it.
