What's your view on the best HF multi band vertical for me.

I know the fact I am looking at multi band is a compromise with respect to
performance but who can afford mono band antennas for all bands ;-)

I am able to mount something on a pole putting the base of the antenna about
10 - 20 ft above ground.

I was thinking about the Cushcraft R6000 but I am open to ideas.

Cheers..

Hi OM
I just gave away an R8.
I have the BiggIR vertical.

No compromises but you'll need a radials.
Mine's grounded on a very long fence.
It is a "mono band antenna for all bands" = 40 - 2

I've had good success with the GAP Challenger over the past 15 months.

Excellent for DX.

So, so for close in scheds.

I have had great luck with the AV-640 by Hy-Gain. It uses a counterpoise;
no radials required. I have mine mounted about 7 feet off the ground on a
small mast, and have been extremely pleased. It has worked very well for DX
and also has done a good job on 40 meters for local nets.
