I have a couple of C3's and they flat work. They blew away a TH7 much
smaller, lighter etc. I bought them when Tom still had F12. I heard Tom
is building antennas again.

I've had a lot of them and they all performed poorly.
This observation flies in the face of measurements performed by K7LXC
and N0AX c.a. 2000, and well documented in the report linked below.
Their test methods are first rate, and so are their credentials. Since
N6BV retired about five years ago, N0AX has been editor of the ARRL
Handbook and the ARRL Antenna Book. I've contributed to both, and
have had considerable technical interchange with him.

Between us, NI6T, W6GJB and I own three C3SS antennas, all bought used
for our contesting group. We use them on FD and on county expeditions
for CQP and 7QP. We love this antenna, which offers very good
performance in a lightweight, compact package.
