[TowerTalk] F12 C3SS & Hy-gain DB1217

[Tom Carrubba KA2D]

Joe,

I helped put two C3SS here on Long Island in NY. Both installed at about
35ft. They work great. Both operators run 100 watts and report if they hear
it they work it. Contacts include FR/T and numerous South Pacific stations.
Europe and Africa is easy. As of yesterday one of them added Vietnam.
Another member is waiting for his C3SS to install on a 50ft tower.

Assembly is simple with good SWR. Performance was much better than expected.
If you can not swing a full sized antenna, this is the one.
