I do believe that the coil loaded Shorty 40's (F12 or other) are a much
better choice than the linear loaded versions. I think that W8JI wrote
a piece on that once ... maybe it's even on his website. I have the
Optibeam OB2-40, which is a coil loaded Shorty 40 similar to the F12
antenna except much sturdier, and it works great (yes, I've measured the
pattern).

Does anyone have a Force 12 Delta 240 up in the air in use? If so, how
does it play?
I've installed a number of the F12 linear loaded antennas and NO ONE
has ever said to me that it was a 'great' antenna. I've always thought that
the CC 2L shorty forty is the best bang for the buck on 40M. Maybe the
newer F12 versions with coils would be an improvement.
