I've no problem with that....!!! My problem is with taking EXISTING
concepts..like the concept of ONE (mono) and MORE than one
(multi)...Running them together to create yet
another OLD concept...i.e. a CONTRADICTION..
Also, neither the device, or the concept are new....People have been
putting more than one antenna on a single support structure (boom, frame,
spider etc) for a very long time...

Hmm! I can see the need to differentiate..but I think your choice
of "multi-monoband" is unfortunate.

not used.
OK!
BTW I have absolutely NO beef with Force 12 antennae..In fact I'm a long
time admirer
of both the design, and the quality of the product.

You already have...
"multi-mono"....
