[TowerTalk] Force12

[Gary J. Ferdinand W2CS]

I'm surprised Force 12 doesn't recommend you just replace their antenna with
a dummy load. BW will be improved still further and cost will be kept to a
minimum, although gain and F/B might suffer a tad :)

Sounds like their BW  quote depends on there being enough loss in the
feedline to achieve it.  Rather strange to say the least!

| Force 12 recommends using a minimum of 100 feet
| of coax for their C4SXL feed lines. I just moved my
| shack to the second floor and now have over 30 feet
| each of both of the feed lines. Has anybody used shorter
| coax with their antenna? I was told by F12 that if I
| use shorter coax, the BW would suffer.
