I purchased a C19XR and a WARC-7 used, but all parts were carefully marked and assembly was easy. The previous owner had made the honor roll with the C19.

I have it together, but due to the arm and hand problem haven't gotten on top of the LM470 which I haven't finished the wiring job as yet. If not for that I might have gone for a new C31XR

for K4OWR: I bought all 3 of my F12 antennas based the k7lxc n0ax report and

of any kind after 5 hurricanes and a higher than average salt air content.
wonder if you would share with the group some of the antennas that are or
were  1/2 the price and yet  outperformed the F12 equivalents and how you
determined their superiority.

thanks

That sounds like a pretty ridiculous comment.  I've never owned a F12
antenna myself, and I don't have any particular affection for the company in
any of its iterations, but I've known hams who've owned F12 antennas and I'd
be amazed if there are comparable antennas out there costing half the price.
Please provide some specifics to prove me wrong:

Which antennas performed poorly for you and how did you have them
configured?

Which antennas have you owned that performed better and cost half the price?
