Sounds good. The C-3S is a light weight, durable antenna that has
respectable gain on 20-15-10. Will they be phased, or just switched?
I just ordered a C-3S from Tom N6BT at HamCom (Arlington, TX) last Friday.
The plan is to test it against a Mosley mini-33 and SteppIR 3 element at my
QTH in Tomball, TX on July 11. F12 doesn't usually ship that quickly but
when I mentioned the test Tom said he would build this one himself and make
every effort to get it out quickly.
One or two of these antennas will be taken to Falkland Is. in November for a
DXpedition to coincide with the CQ WW CW contest. We will operate station
VP8WWW.
