I have never used or installed a Force12 40m beam but I imagine that it
would be a task to adjust the linear loading wires for each element.

> I haven't seen anyone mention the Force 12 Magnum 240N. I have one and
it's
been great. Covers the whole 40-meter band with good SWR and gain. It's
good enough to have given me a 1st place USA finish in a CQ WW 40-meter
single-band category many years ago. Has lasted 10 years at 120ft without
needing any repair work.
If this is one of their linear loaded designs, I'd pass. I've
installed lots of 40M beams and I've never had anyone tell me that their LL
F12
antenna was a great antenna. I was never impressed with their performance.
Cheers,
