[TowerTalk] N6BT, Force12inc and JK Antennas

[Ed Sawyer]

The C3 is the best short boom tribander out there in my opinion.  I have
used them around the world.  They are a clean pattern, smooth SWR across the
full band performer.  At the end of the day, the gain available is a
function of boom length primarily.  On 15 and 20, you are going to help
yourself by stuffing another element on a short boom.  On 10M, the argument
could be made that another element would add value to this antenna, but the
antenna works as a nice package.  On 12 and 17 - its just a rotary dipole
essentially - so if that's someone's interest, this isn't the antenna for
you.

 

Nice advantage for DXpeditions, you can break this baby down into a golf
case.  And there are no finicky little motors and control lines to worry
about.
