Of course. So what? They are different antennas.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] High vertical
The main reason is that the Cushcraft R8 was one of the antennas in
the comparison report on verticals by N0AX and K7LXC (cost $20 but
worth it) here:
<http://www.championradio.com/HF-VERTICAL-PERFORMANCE-TEST-METHODS-RESULTS.3>
The Hy-Gain AV-640 is very similar, but appears to have a little more
top loading and is a bit shorter. It is also less expensive.
Incidentally, yesterday afternoon we had a storm with remarkably high
winds. I went up to look at the antenna and had to take care not to be
blown down. I was /very/ glad I had guyed it at two locations. I may
even add a third set of guys.

Any thoughts on choosing the Cushcraft over the Hy-Gain for a vertical?
