[TowerTalk] 2 el 40m beams

[Richard Thorne]

I've always been happy with F12 products.  I've had a C3 and C4xl (which 
included a linear loaded 2 element 40).  Both antennas survived a couple 
ice storms over the years.

I just put up a C31xr and D240 2 element 40m beam at my new qth.  I 
built both antennas to spec and installed them 10' apart at 77' and 
87'.  Swr curves were exactly where they were supposed to be.

I believe you can order heavier duty models if needed.
