[TowerTalk] Force 12 going away ?

[Chet Moore]

Its not like the n6bt isnt designing new ones.  Some one posted the URL to
his new website of his new company last week. Looks like there are improved
versions of the C3 series, some phased verticals, and even one antenna in
the shape of a FLAMINGO that looks somewhat like decorative iron art that
might help people  with xyl's, CC& R'S and  condo dwellers that can be
placed in a front yard. they look a bit pricey but probably worth it if
thats the only way you can install an
invisible outdoor antenna. my brother is a condo dweller and he is looking
into the flamingo thing.

That is sad to see as N6BT had some interesting designs. I tried to order
from them years ago and never had any luck getting a call back after
multiple attempts. I don't know it their customer service got better under
the various owners.  OptiBeam makes very nice coil loaded 40m beams that are
not resonant on other ham bands and they have fantastic customer service.

Read some discussions about:
Force 12 liquidating their assets and selling off antennas.No longer
partnered with Innovation Antennas.MFJ taking over Force 12.
I was going to order their new 40M 3 el 40  (Delta 340 design with loading
coils)but am glad I havent done so.  Anyone have any info on what is going
on ?
N6BT is alive and well.  He has some nice antennas in his catalog.  
Unfortunately
he doesn't offer a coil loaded 3 element 40M yagi, only 2 elements, like the

Delta D240.
