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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Biff Craine" <scraine1@tampabay.rr.com> To: "'Law Offices of J D Lambright, PLLC'" <JDLambright@the-law-offices.com>; <Force12Talk@qth.com> Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2003 7:22 PM Subject: RE: [Force 12 Talk] Force 12 vs. Tennadyne > > C 31 XR at 100 ft with the 706 on top of it > N1217 on the Wilson > Sell the log > > Biff > K4LAW > > -----Original Message----- > From: Law Offices of J D Lambright, PLLC > [mailto:JDLambright@the-law-offices.com] > Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2003 12:17 PM > To: Force12Talk@qth.com > Subject: [Force 12 Talk] Force 12 vs. Tennadyne > > > I would like to hear your comments and recommendations regarding my > antenna choices.
