 Hi om,
 today I have mounted my new Force 12 C4 on the tower.
 The tower is 40 feet high from the roof, that is about another 40 feet from
the ground.
 I have used two coaxial cable 17,5 meters long (about 55 feet), one for 40m
element, another for 20m (and15-10).
 I have the resonance on all bands, but the minimum swr on all bands is 2
(two).
 Also at 29 mhz swr is very high.
 Is this the usual behaviour of this antenna, or there is something wrong?
 I  have tried it only with my Autek rf analyzer.
 I haven't again tried it with the rig.
 What do you think?
