I run the C4S and I agree, trying to get the 40m dipole tuned is a pain in the ass.
I will be selling this sucker soon and replacing it with a C31XR. I plan on getting a 40m
double bazooka from KB5HOV to make up for the loss...


This year CQWW in Oct. is going to be a blast!!!

Most, if not all of the emails I have received about which Force 12 multi
band antenna (40-10 meters ) I should buy,  express their concern about
have many problems getting the 40 meter portion of the antenna adjusted
for the lowest SWR.  Some said they never did get it adjusted and junked
the antenna.  This certainly would not be a selling point for the buying
of the antenna.  One said, if I had to have a Force 12 multi band antenna
buy the C-4SXL.  Another said buy anything else but Force 12 multi band
antenna.  Another said some swear by them and others swear at them.  I
really don't know what direction to go.
