Nice work, Howie! My new-to-me C-4XL has been up since 2012, and I see we did
almost the same refurbish work.I have mine on top of a 72' crankup/tiltover
tower. A nifty thing about that is, I can tilt the tower completely horizontal
if I remove two sections of boom+element(s) from the yagi. To ensure the yagi
doesn't windmill the rotator, I use a piece of angle stock with two U-bolts
that grab the mast and one tower leg. That's the only ladder-work I do.

Hi all,
All the talk about older Force 12 linear loading vs. Tornado coil
upgrades inspired me to rebuild a 20-yr old C-4SXL I have had stored in
pieces for a few years. I took some pictures along the way, and you can
read about the process here:

I appreciate all the knowledge I have gained from this group that helped
me with the project, your comments and abuse are welcomed.
Cheers & 73,
Howie - WA4PSC
