Subject:     Interlaced Yagi Results               Date:     5/23/95

I was somewhat surprised by the wide variation in responses on this one.
From "it works, I have one" to "forget it, it's a waste of time". I also
had a lot of responses from others who said they are interested in
finding out more. I attribute this to a lack of sunspots!

A few people who have first hand experience with Force 12 antennas said
they do indeed work as claimed. And the C3 is really nothing more than a
bunch of interlaced monobanders. Those that tried interlacing
pre-computer software were generally less than satisifed, while those
that have used modeling found a combo that worked. But it takes a lot of
time and iterations. 

Having little time/patience, a slow 386-25 and no real modeling
software, I think I'll look for a cheap XA and be done with it.
