how well this little antenna performs and my 10m scores have gone up correspondingly (see my 3830 posted ARRL DX CW score last weekend as G5M). In the environmentally challenged UK I have to keep my crank-up mast wound down (roughly 22 feet) outside the contests and DXing sessions and it works surprisingly well at this height too, though clearly well down on its full height. My only checks were SWR curves - which helped me detect when a U bolt worked loose after a couple of weeks (I'd left a spring washer off). The 17/12m curves are especially sensitive to proper assembly, so are a useful diagnostic. The C3SS obviously has its limitations versus the bigger Force12 offerings, but you should get a lot of fun/$ and fun/sq. ft. of windload! Just a satisfied F12 user.. 73 Dave G3WGN One of the M6T gang G5M in ARRL DX and CQWPX -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
