[Towertalk] F12 C-3E

[Eddy Avila]

I field upgraded my C3 to the E model -- just an extra element on 
10....spoke with Tom, n6bt himself when I bought the add-on kit....as I 
recall, he explained it won't increase the gain much but does improve the 
F/B ratio a lot.

I haven't notice the different, certainly didn't hurt the antenna 
performace, but I'm still glad I did the mod and would do it again! 
By-the-way, I installed the extra element while the antenna was on the 
tower!!! REALLY!

73 and good luck....
