Terry, Thanks for posting this! The NEW Force 12 will work with
everyone having these issues. I am already in correspondence with
several owners and we are solving all issues as soon as we can.

> If you have purchased a antenna from Force 12 before the change in
> ownership, please take note. I just put up two Force12 6BA's for some local
> folks and there were a number of issues:
>
> Mis-drilled elements (wrong length)
> Missing element insulators
> Wrong U-bolts
> Missing 40 meter jumper (but we did get a extra 40 meter hairpin coil)
> Several cases of missing hardware
> Missing silicon seals on the 40 meter coils on one of the antennas
>
> This in no way should reflect on the new ownership as the antennas were
> purchased from the original owner. I suspect it was a case where quality no
> longer mattered and someone just wanted to get the order out the door.

> If you have a recent Force12 purchase from the original owners, you may want
> to pay close attention and check all dimensions.
