I've a Cushcraft MA5V, which I bought a couple of years back under
the impression that it covers 10 through 20 meters.

The text on Cushcraft's website states that coverage. But, the little
spec table below it indicates coverage from 6m to 20m.

What gives?

Javier,
A 20 meter 1/4 wave works very well on 6 meters.

You could ask Cush-Craft.

In the AES catalog, the ma5v is rated for 20-10, the ma6v is rated for
20-6. Maybe there is some overlap of instructions on the two units.

In the pictures, the ma6v appears to have a vertical element that is
missing in the ma5v.
