Do operate from a Butternut HF6V and
would like to see your comparison soon. R/ds Emil ZS6EGB

For example, when band width is noted for the Cushcraft R-8 for 30 meters is says “50″ and for the GAP it states “All”. In reality, at least in the USA, 50 is all we are allowed to use (10.100 – 10.150). This is also noted with other bands as well. A new ham would look at your information and make an assessment based upon “wording” and I believe that is unfair. When one plublishes figures it should reflect the same information or explain the differences per international requirements. In effect your presentation lacks subjectivity.
