[TowerTalk] C3SS Assembly

[WD4K]

Hi Rich, No problems here with your reply. My comments were meant to be
positive and agree with what you were trying to get across. I was agreeing
with you that the C3SS would be a small project with a minimum of time
involved. I felt the later stated estimation of 6 hours, of having to
redrill and "make it fit", of correcting "mistakes"  was misleading and may
keep someone from pursuing it. One or two hours or so involved with an end
result of excellent performance with the C3SS is a value.
To assume it would take more time for the C3SS than a C31XR I again thought
was misleading. Since my posting I have recieved a couple of nice inquiries
about my personal experience with the 31's. I was happy to furnish a couple
of my methods to augment the well written C31XR manual. 73 Tommy WD4K

Hello To All
I hope my first reply to the request for a  simple beam design has not
started any conflects among the Tower Talk members. My reply was to simply
comment on not reinventing the wheel. Rather then trying to design a new
antenna I felt the C3SS by Force-12 was a better way to go. Haveing a proven
design that is known to work in a very small package seemed to me a better
way to go rather then starting from scratch. It is a lot of fun designing
and testing new antennas but during a contest I feel is not the right time
or place. If a person checks how to assemble the C3SS before the contest
event I feel it can be done in about an hour. If it takes 2 hours so what.
At least when the job is done we know the antenna will do what it was
designed to do and that is make points for the contester.  Rich/AA2MF
