[TowerTalk] C3SS Assembly

[Hsu, Aaron]

Just one thought...although the C-3SS is a smaller version of the C-3S, I'd say it takes a longer to assemble.  The reason being the linear loading rods and plastic spreaders.  When I put up my C-3SS, the longest time spent was waiting for the sealant to cure on the 20M elements.  It also took a bit of time to figure out how the spreader goes on the loading rods and main element...3D drawings on a 2D instruction manual can be a bit confusing <g> !  The first time I put the spreader on, it was "upside down".

In short, add about an hour to the C-3SS vs C-3(S) just for assembly time.  Add a few more for sealant curing.  But, no matter how long it takes to assemble, Force12 makes darn fine antennas!

Just my honest opinion.
