Vy 73 OZ1CCM Kjeld -----Original Message----- From: KEN SILVERMAN [mailto:k2kw@prodigy.net] Sent: 5. maj 2003 04.56 To: Law Offices of J D Lambright, PLLC; Force12Talk@qth.com Subject: Re: [Force 12 Talk] 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!
