OptiBeam http://www.optibeam.de/ also has a number of multiband antennas.
They are pre-drilled for easy assembly, work well and Tom offers excellent
support.

Hi Gary,
 
Happy Thanksgivng!
 
I'm thankful we still have a few antenna manufacturers to  choose from.  
 
I read the Force website the same as you- that the XR-5  has been replaced 
with the new XR5-T.  What caught my attention the  most was that their 
advertising states that the replacement antenna  has a "shorter boom, and
more 
gain".  Seems amazing, I wonder if it's  true as a 10-11' boom on 20-m.
seems 
short.  One thing I really like about the  Force & Skyhawk antennas is that 
the element to boom holes are  pre-drilled as it's a big time saver for me 
not to have to align the elements  manually. 
 
73,
Dick- K9OM
