[TowerTalk] Force 12 Delta 240 2 Elem 40M Yagi

[Wayne Kline]

I have installed  a number of F-12 240 and 340 magnum  antennas. and as mentioned,  there do need some   focus on extra tuning  .As a CC 240 CD  sure has a number of mechanical issues that the Newer XM 240 overcomes.   I good friend just installed a 2 element Delta and am waiting for some feedback .. with it's close proximity
to a F-12 C-19  ???   But the older F-12 needed a few up and downs  to tweak them and IMHO  the three element alone or on a mixed boom are a KILLER antenna .
 
just my  .02  
 
I also had all three, the old Hi Gain 2  element 40 , a two element Discovery and the three element model.  I keep  Bunning  up loading wires. ( My opinion was that the
antenna was top loaded part of the shunt feed tower on 160     110'.... ????
