The unit for sale is boxed, so here is a photo of a friend of KU4WE’s (SK) C-4XL. The photo is the full antenna-20, 17, 15, 12 & 10m and the 2 ele 40m Yagi on a 30ft boom. The back element and the 4th one are the 2 ele 40m beam, the 2nd element forward comprises the C-4. I have the parts to break it into a 20 – 10m on 18ft boom and a 2 ele 40m Yagi on a separate 18ft boom , for stacking for instance.
