Hi Tim,

I've been using a Warc-7 for about a year now.  It's about 100' high.  Of
course, no good performance data on 12M.  On 17, it's just ok.  2 el does
not make me feel loud.  I love it on 30M - the 2 el DOES make me feel loud.
Mechanically, it's pretty good.  The 30M antenna is linearly loaded and the
setting the center frequency may take a couple adjustments.  Mine ended up
above the band, but the band is so narrow, I just accepted it.

Bottom line - other than wishing for another element on 17, I'm very happy
with it.

73, Bud N7CW

Anyone using the Force 12 tribander - "Warc-7" - for the Warc bands?  I have
never had anything but wires for the 30, 17, 12 mtrs, and am thinking about
ordering the Warc-7 to cover these bands.  It should be considerably better
than what I have now.  Your experiences, good or bad?

Thanks for any responses.
73, Tim - N3XX
