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

“The” shack, “the” yard, “the” outbuildings. We use such an interesting manner of expression when we describe “my” shack, “my radios,” or “my installation.” I wonder where this ergot came from?

Thanks to N1TI, I purchased the 2 matching unit (which I am rebuilding).
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.
