Agreed also from here. I ran the R-7 as my only antenna for about a year.
It was mounted only 12 feet above ground at 175 feet above sea level here
in So. NH. It performed very well across all bands (I bought it used and
assembled it only using the weather marks, and it tuned up perfectly). It
was designed as a limited space, and low height mounted 40-10 vertical and
does exactly what you designed it to do, Joe! Kudos! & Thanks! 73, DavidC
