The R-6000 employs quarter wavelength stubs on 10 and 15 Meters to replace


standard trap coils. The result is lower loss and wider bandwidth. The R-6000
covers all bands 6 through 15 meters at a VSWR under 2:1. On 20 meters you
can select the top 300 KHz or bottom 300 KHz of the band.
The R-6000 weighs only 12-1/2 pounds (5.6 kg). It is lightweight and easy to
mount for portable or permanent installations. Machined aluminum clamps and
UV stable insulators guarantee years of reliable service. The R-6000 comes
with the standard warranty of one year from purchase - plus the industry’s lead-
ing technical support team stands behind each antenna.
The R-6000 makes an excellent diversity antenna to complement even the most
complete stations, or pack up the R-6000 for a trip to the DX location of your
dreams.

Cushcraft R-8 Multiband HF Vertical


6-40 Meters
HF Multiband Vertical Antenna
6, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, and 40 Meter
R-8 This multiband vertical design provides 8 band coverage encompassing the
$
53995 6, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30 and 40 meter bands. Cushcraft achieved a major
breakthrough in the development of an HF multiband vertical antenna that
has been specifically designed for use with a tuner and amplifier. As a

Cushcraft Amateur Antennas


result, the antenna more accurately addresses the needs of the contempo-
rary ham shack.
Multiband vertical antennas have always been complicated designs with
components as likely to be damaged by high levels of mismatched transmit
power as the rigs they are attached to. Before the use of tuners became
widespread, the antenna was protected by the same safety mechanisms that
protected the rig. Now, the automatic power reduction circuits of the past
have actually become a second layer of protective circuitry. Although the
auto-tuner provides the ham with a more versatile device as well as protect-
ing the rig’s components, the antenna is more vulnerable than ever. With
the press of a button, very high loads can be imposed on the antenna. The
result to theantenna can be catastrophic failure in some instances.
The R-8 is the first multiband vertical designed for the rigors of contempo-
rary operating conditions. Although the antenna is best operated within it’s
2.0:1 VSWR bandwidth,it can sustain a 3.0:1 VSWR mismatch at full
power for typical operating intervals. Now radio amateurs can take full
,
advantage of the versatility that a tuner used in conjunction with a multi-
band HF vertical antenna can give them. For high wind environments, add
the R-8GK, $56.95 Guy kit-three point non-conductive guy system.
