[TowerTalk] Recap of Force 12 C4 - reverse direction

[jccrtv@jccrtv.com]

Original question was: For 12 meters on the Force-12 C4 antenna, do you aim
it in the opposite direction for strongest signal (as you do for 17 meters)?

Thanks for all the replies. You don't reverse it, for 12 meters its straight
ahead. However, Natan at Force 12 tells me that my C4SXL is different, and
the gain on 12 is best in the opposite direction.

The C4 has been around so a lot of you know Force 12 stuff. For those not
familiar with this antenna, the C4-SXL is 10-15-20-2 ele on 40(!!)in one
direction, and with a tuner 17 and 12 in the opposite direction. I bought
the /D model which is rated for the high east-end Long Island winds. No
traps. Killer great construction. IMO I love this beam. Thanks to all for
the responses.
