[TowerTalk] JK C3S WARC Modifications

[Robert Harmon]

I would be interested in what you come up with Herb for the C3S.  I was thinking 
about the same thing. I am learning EZNEC but have a long way to go to tackle 
this design.  It's way above my pay grade.  hihi

I use the C3S on 24 and 18 with a tuner.  It works but not very well on these bands.
Not suprising, it isn't really designed for these bands.
