Just one thought...although the C-3SS is a smaller version of the C-3S, I'd say
it takes a longer to assemble. The reason being the linear loading rods and
plastic spreaders. When I put up my C-3SS, the longest time spent was waiting
for the sealant to cure on the 20M elements. It also took a bit of time to
figure out how the spreader goes on the loading rods and main element...3D
drawings on a 2D instruction manual can be a bit confusing <g> ! The first
time I put the spreader on, it was "upside down".
In short, add about an hour to the C-3SS vs C-3(S) just for assembly time. Add
a few more for sealant curing. But, no matter how long it takes to assemble,
Force12 makes darn fine antennas!
Just my honest opinion.
