R7000+ (with 80m Kit)
Here's what some of the very first
R7000 users have to say.
"The antenna is well built. The in-
structions are very clear with very
helpful diagrams . . . Seven bands
right out of the box with no tuning is
impressive. . . I really like the con-
struction of this antenna, no loose
lockwashers to chase around. All
stainless steel hardware is top notch.
Keep up the good work." WVH
"The R7000 experienced several
hours of 50 mph sustained wind with
gusts 70 plus mph. I used the R7000
during this time and noticed no differ-
ence in performance . . . I was sur-
prised by being able to easily work
western European and western Afri-
can stations on 17m (from North Da-
kota) " WBOAJ
