Subject: F12 dependability

In all fairness , how would an antenna company wind test an antenna? Does
Force12 have acess to a giant wind tunnel? I don't think a wind tunnel
exist's that could test a 40' wide antenna. This information has to be
gathered up from it's user base. And their doing the right thing, improving
their product from this information.
I had a Force12 on order since early March. I got tired of waiting and
canceled my order last week. I made several phone call's, last one was that
my antenna was waiting for a relay??? I don't think a relay was needed on
an XR-6. An XR-6 is an XR-5 with a 40m add on kit with two feedlines.
Anyway I guess the March sale generated more business then expected , and I
just didn't have the patience to wait anymore.
