Cushcraft R-6000
The Cushcraft R-6000 antenna covers 6 through 20 meter with no ground radials. It includes many of the features of the Cushcraft R8, R7 and R5 antennas. The R-6000 has good performance, easy installation and use, slim silhouette and high reliability. There are no traps used on 6, 10 and 15 meters for maximum efficiency and power handling.
For typical use the Cushcraft R-6000 requires no tuning. You have instant band changing to any band from 6 meters through 20 meters. Its slim size makes it a good choice for not bringing it to the attention of neighbors and family. Most HF rigs today include the 6 meter band so this antenna gives you instant access to the "Magic Band". The R-6000 is reasonably priced and gives you a good price to performance ratio.
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 Cushcraft 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 and their technical support team can help you with any issues.
