Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] force 12 (fwd)
I am a little nervous about Force 12 as well. I am getting ready to
build
a new HF station, and I am considering buying several Force 12 HF
antennas
including their 4BA, 62- /340, and 80 meter rotatable.
I called up there last week, and told them that I was going to be in
their
area next week on other business, and I wanted to stop by and take a
closer look at their antennas, etc.
They sounded a little hesitate about me coming by, but then said I
should
call when I arrive in town, and they would see if it was possible for me
to stop by.
Doesn't leave me with a good feeling, especially when I am looking at
spending several thousands on their antennas.

Herb, I've been to Tom's place to talk with him and pick up some
antennas. Please be aware that Tom is the only one who can talk with you
when you go there. There are two people in the front office and the crew
working in the back but they have no inside sales or tech support
people. So, given the fact that Tom runs the company, designs the
antennas, builds antennas and does the sales and tech support too......
well you just have to make sure you can be there when he is available.
Tom is available via his email and by phone. Is it worth the trouble to
talk with him? YES! Are they good antennas? IMHO, YES! I have a four and
I love them for the usual reasons stated by others. They work well. They
are very easy to assemble and handle. Tom has extremely knowledgeable
opinions and is willing to share them with you. He will help you
configure a solution that will accomplish what you want to do-within the
budget you have available.
Just words from a satisfied user.
