Aloha, a few have asked what test report/Dayton talk did
I have reference to in the below statement:
>"Well, I read about the tests reported at
> Dayton last summer about various tri-band antennas.
>So, today I ...
ordered a Force 12 C4 antenna. This is the C3 with the addition of
a 37 foot dipole element for 40 meters."
The title of the paper, and talk at Dayton is:
"HF Tribander Performance, sub title, Test
Methods and Results", authors, H. Ward Silver,
N0AX, and Steve Morris, K7LXC.
This is a bound report, some 42 pages of text, plus another
eight appendicies listing all the data collected during tests
of eight available commercial tri-band antennas, including
one 2 el. quad antenna. The report is copywrited, costs
$15, and is still "in print" and available.
You can order a copy from Champion Radio Products, go to:

Click on publications, it is the first item of the list, as follows:
"HF TRIBANDER PERFORMANCE - TEST METHODS & RESULTS
This groundbreaking test took eight HF triband antennas and tested their
on-the-air performance. Over 50 pages long, information includes the
protocol used, the data sets and results. Antennas tested are: C-3,
TA-33, 2-element quad, KT-34XA, PRO-77, Skyhawk, TH7DX and
TH11. Extremely interesting reading. By NØAX and K7LXC. $15.00 ."
Very interesting reading, and unbiased results reporting.
