If it's a little off on swr on your tripod, but the pattern is good, either ignore it if your transmitter loads it, or use a tuner. If SWR is WAY off, you have a problem >> Good advice, but I could add one more option: If it's a little off, take it back down, drill out the rivets on the "off" driver and adjust. Some times we fail to mention that one of the real plusses for Force 12 antennas and especially the C3 family is that they are small, light, and really easy to take up and down. I recall one time, I took a C4 off and on my 50' hight side-arm 3 times in about 1-1/2 hours--each time making adjustments. I, too, was getting weird results on my annalyser trying to test it in mid air.
