Steve,
Have you tried tuning the Force 12 coil/hairpin combo on their 40M
yagi antennas? Equally a pain.
IMHO potential quad owners need a tilt over tower, a HAZER tower or a
friend with a cherry picker. Antenna planning always has to consider
getting the antenna up, tuned and repaired!
Fortunately, I realized that fact of life before trying to use a
quad.
