Not a FLAME. But You would likely benefit from reading the k7lxc N0ax
tribander report. After raeading it I ordered the C31XR. Force 12 is no more
but some of their antennas are mechanically improved and sold by JK and
there are A lot newer tribanders I would like to see them test on their
antenna range. Hint, tests of some of the mosely and hy gain antennas did
not fare all that well. I had a TH6, a TH3 , TH7 and a classic ta33 all of
which worked
Pretty well..........in their day. My th-3 is still a good FIELD DAY antenna
and great as a mult antenna to grab south American mults so I don’t have to
rotate the c31.

You turd :-)
I have a Classic 33 Tribander and I am still trying to figure out why anyone
would put up something bigger. It seems to work everything I call on it, and
that makes me satisfied. Maybe I should go lay in the yard too.
