Someone wrote and K9YC quoted:

        I'd also look at the Force 12 antennas, none of which use traps, and
which provide very good bang for the buck.  The two that Ward and Steve
measured were the best performers in both groups they measured -- small
tribanders and larger tribanders.

I just wanted to say that I bought a FORCE 12 5BA.  It is a great performing
antenna.  Bought it BECAUSE I wanted an antenna without traps or moving
parts.  It just sits there and radiates and receives.  In addition, not
having traps:  snow will fall off easier as the elements bend.  Nothing to
"trap" the ice, either.
