Nothing wrong with your first wording. The hard part is finding someone
who can do both jobs simultaneously. There are folks aplenty who can do
both jobs well, just not at the same time.

Sure Patrick, but when you have a small outfit, you may not be able to
afford a separate QC person. Perhaps I should have said "a
maintenance foreman with a strong commitment to quality. Better?

Manufacturing and QC don't work well inside the same head.
Manufacturing is all about making production quotas and QC checks to
see that the appropriate level of quality is maintained on the wigits
being built. You can't test quality into a product. You have to
design and build quality into a product and then QC verifies the
desired level of quality and gives feedback to manufacturing to help
them control their quality level.
It is a rare individual (or someone exhibiting multiple
personalities) that can be both manufacturing minded and QA/QC minded.

My experience with F12 and N6BT goes back 19 years so far. I have 3
of his smaller antennas - two C3Es and anEF-240S. All are working
and holding up well. My technical experience was mixed - my
impression is that Tom very much wanted to do things right and be
fair to his customers, but that execution got in the way, with
missing parts, misdrilled boom pieces, and the like. I think he
need a good QC guy as his manufacturing foreman. However, I have no
doubt Tom himself means well, and maybe he learned something from it.

I don’t have any experience with N6BT in his present endeavor but
if it’s anything like when he ran Force 12 I wouldn’t hold my
breathe. Lousy manuals…. no parts list, confusing instructions and
measurements for the EF-130..30M dipole in the instruction
manuals. I would at least look at the manual for the antenna that
you are interested in before buying. He sold the business to a K5
that tried to get things organized but after a few years he sold
what was left of the business to Innova Antennas. They have kept
some of the popular items but eliminated most!!

Has anyone done business with N6BT Next Generation Antennas that
would be
willing to share their experience relative to shipping times?
If preferred off reflector comments would be welcome.
