The Cushcraft R5 is a good 20-6 antenna.
Great for DX due to low radiation angle (near horizon)!
We use for Field Day on 2 stations … one worked Alaska on 15 meters and other station worked Virgin Islands.
n1ti February 9, 2010 at 5:00 am: I worked Europe routinely and occasionally Australia, the Middle East and Africa.

n1ti February 9, 2010 at 5:49 am: Just added more radials tonight…much better performance on 10 and 15.

n1ti February 9, 2010 at 6:06 am: Thanks…threw it up in a few minutes to test out some radios for eBay. Been off the air for a while and antennas were down from a storm last year. Thanks -Tim
