Good to see this video; very few if any Force 12 videos out there. The 18 foot boom should give this an edge over the Mosley, but have fun getting it on the tower 🙂. My one suggestion is to film in landscape, versus portrait; 2/3rds of the screen is empty. Thanks for posting this...hope to see further videos on how this gets installed and how it works for you...73! de WX0V
Thanks man! Yeah I’m a bit nervous about it riding up as well. Lots of bouncing going on there. Yeah I meant to hold the phone sideways but didn’t want to get penitrox on my screen. That stuff has been on me for a week. Better than fiberglass I guess!
Hi Jay! Thanks for the great QSO on 20 meters CW! I found the address of your UA-cam channel on QRZ and discovered that I had already seen some of your videos! Best regards and talk to you soon. 73s Mario IK1LBL
Very cool! Just got the c3 up today. Very impressive beam! It’s getting hard to find the c3 here but such a solid performer even at 40ft or so. The forward gain and lobes are a bit sharper than the Mosley 33. I was reading your qrz page while listening to you. Our passion for Cw is same. Thank you for the qso Mario and hope to chat with you agn soon. 73
@@JayN4GO Hello dearest Jay! Even though the concept wasn’t new, "Force 12" was a pioneer commercially with these antennas. You made a great deal and will surely have many satisfactions. Recently, I've been having a lot of fun with the POTA program, both as an activator and a hunter. It's only been a few weeks, but it has rekindled my enthusiasm for portable activities. Best regards and talk to you soon. I’ve subscribed to your channel so I can see your upcoming videos right away. 73s Mario IK1LBL
@@JayN4GOhi Jay, until now I have do 9 activation, usually all them between 9:30 to 15:30 UTC.. if I'm not busy, next week end I try to activate some parks here on my area but I always decide at the very last time..

@@JayN4GO Yep...that shit is pure evil, but, it's a must on antennas and metal hardware...73!
Nice! Please do a follow-up report when you get it in the air!
For sure brother
