All well and good Roger....
But... a well built and sturdy bullet proof antenna shouldn't need to be
repaired?...40 plus years on the TA-36 and no repairs...I bought it 2nd hand
and now it has a new owner going into its 5th decade....with nothing
needing repair other that 2 new insulating blocks..that I made myself.
How many Force 12's or any other "new and improved" have been here 50
years or will be around in 2067?
I didn't need to search out data on which antenna does what and how
where...I got what I knew would be the best bang for MY money...alleged
performance issues aside...I got what I wanted...8 bands on 1 antenna for 1
tower
that will take what Ma Nature and Father time could throw at it for decades
and still just keep on working.
If I had a super contest station sure...other stacks of antennas of
different designs would be ideal...I'm sure...but I do not...I work what ever I
hear and do OK in the contests.
All the bashing I have heard in the past sounds a lot like the crap you see
from MSNBC and CNN lately.

The design is simple and easy to repair Dimensions are critical. Make
Tubing replacements the same as those being replaced. DX Engineering
has the correct size tubing in stock. NOTE: The tips of the 20 meter
reflector on the C19XR are longer than three feet. Overlap on joints is 3"
