[Towertalk] Re: Force 12 Antennas

[Donald R. Bozarth]

Force 12 has announced a new antenna the XR-5.  It is a 5 band (20-10)
antenna with the "forward stagger", multi-monobander design developed by
Force 12.  The specs look pretty good.  It has a relative small footprint,
being on an 18' boom and a turning radius of just over 20'.  At this point
there doesn't seem to be a way to add 40m to it.

The ability of the C series antennas to work on 17/12 is at best a
compromise, but they actually perform better than you might expect.  A good
friend of mine has the C4, and in three years has managed 307 countries with
a fair amount on the WARC bands.
