[TowerTalk] Recommendations for Purchasing a short 2 Element 40 Meter

[K7LXC--- via TowerTalk]

>  I haven't seen anyone  mention the Force 12 Magnum 240N.  I have one and 
it's
been great.   Covers the whole 40-meter band with good SWR and gain.  It's
good enough  to have given me a 1st place USA finish in a CQ WW 40-meter
single-band  category many years ago.  Has lasted 10 years at 120ft without
needing  any repair work. 
 
    If this is one of their linear loaded designs, I'd  pass. I've 
installed lots of 40M beams and I've never had anyone tell me that  their LL F12 
antenna was a great antenna. I was never impressed with their  performance.
