For what it's worth...
Feedback from close friends on DXpeditions that used the Cushcraft A-3WS
was very good. Based on the design, I would expect the HyGain beam to be
comparable.
I have no experience with the Force 12.
I have used rotatable aluminum dipoles on these bands at good heights
(55-75 feet) and am very pleased with their performance. If you want, I can
provide design information for a dual-band dipole (single feedline).
