Subject: Force 12 vs. Tennadyne
Author: WA9ALS - John <wa9als@starband.net>

I would think it might have something to do with how important the WARC
bands are to you and therefore how much work you're willing to do. It would
be a lot more work to put up 2 antennas to handle what the log does in one.
That said, however, I love my C31XR at 70 ft. But I'm not into the WARC
bands heavily either. If you are, and you don't mind putting up the 2
yagis, go for the F12! If you're into WARC, but want to save time and
energy, go with the log? I was tempted by the Tennadynes, but decided on
the C31XR and have never regretted it.
