[TowerTalk] Old Force 12 alert

[Mark Hooper]

Terry, Thanks for posting this!  The NEW Force 12 will work with 
everyone having these issues.  I am already in correspondence with 
several owners and we are solving all issues as soon as we can.

> 
> Mis-drilled elements (wrong length)
> Missing element insulators
> Wrong U-bolts
> Missing 40 meter jumper (but we did get a extra 40 meter hairpin coil)
> Several cases of missing hardware
> Missing silicon seals on the 40 meter coils on one of the antennas

> This in no way should reflect on the new ownership as the antennas were
