    Several years ago before F12 became the #1 ham radio antenna 
manufacturer, Champion Radio Products sold *some* F12 products. They tended 
to be custom antennas and only very occasionally a C-3 or C-4. The 
relationship was dropped after dozens of fruitless phone calls to Tom, N6BT, 
over a week's time where I was never able to actually talk to him. Any 
company that doesn't field a phone call from one of their dealers isn't one 
that I'm interested in doing business with. 

    This doesn't change the fact that they make pretty good antennas but 
their customer service isn't on the same level.

Cheers,
