Subject: Force 12 vs. Tennadyne

A WELL designed log often has no more than 3 dB of gain per band, sometimes
less. F/B performance is also not the same as a monoband Yagi. If you are
interested in busting pileups easier, creating your own pileups, or looking
to improve contest scores, go with the C31 XR and 12/17 Yagis. LPs are
simply not equal to the performance of well designed monoband Yagis, which
is what you are getting with the latter. If you want an LP (I personally
cannot think of why someone would ever consider an LP unless you do serious
MARS or out of band RXing), buy a Force 12 LP!
