TopBand: 160M Antennas

[James c Rogers]

Fellow Topbanders,

I'm looking for first hand information on the performance of Gladiator
and Force 12 Verticals for topband. 

1. How do they perform?
2. How well are they constructed?
3. How easy/hard are they to assemble?
4. Could I tell any performance difference between top loaded vs. center
loaded, as on the Gladiator ?
5. Will tuned elevated  radials at 17 feet vs. full length elevated
radials at 17 feet make any real difference? 

I'd be interested in any 1st had info that any of you have on these
antenna. Please send your comments directly to me: jimkn4qv@juno.com

Thank you,

Jim N4DU
