[TowerTalk] Quad Element Tuning

[alsopb]

Steve,

Have you tried tuning the Force 12 coil/hairpin combo on their 40M
yagi antennas?  Equally a pain.

IMHO potential quad owners need a tilt over tower, a HAZER tower or a
friend with a cherry picker.  Antenna planning always has to consider
getting the antenna up, tuned and repaired!

Fortunately,  I realized that fact of life before trying to use a
quad.
