Another small tribander that you don't hear much about is the TH-2, 
Sure it is only 2 elements, but it is also less weight to transport & 
less antenna to rotate. And unlike the TH-3JR it is rated at legal 
power. Of course it costs $10 more.

   Force-12 C-3SS is "mucho expensivo" - almost 2 times more than Cushcraft

Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.
