It was someone in Texas and I also remember a W6. One tried just adding
another XA kit but I believe the 5 found that it played better with the 2
extra elements on a longer boom for better director spacing. I seem to
remember 57' rather than 48' with another XA kit. Not sure where the 10
meter director went on the longer boom.
I did see a note that 15 meter performance "might" be improved by replacing
the 10 meter director with a 10/15 director. On the regular KT34XA this
seems to place the extra 15 director to close to the current 2nd director
(last director).
I think it would be better to stack them al la K7RI/N8TR, but that is just
my opinion.
