I'm stacking a pair of large tribanders (7el 24ft boom) at
60' & 100' on Rohn 25. The lower one is on a TIC ring. No
problems so far. I have a friend who has pair of 6el 26ft
boom tribanders plus a 40-2CD on 80' of Rohn 25. No problems
there for years. BUT, we are both in 70MPH rated counties. That
could make a LOT of difference. I still would not be comfortable
adding anything else to my tower past the stack. If I were to
do it over again, I'd have started with Rohn 45. My station
description is at < http://www.k4ro.net/k4ro_stn.html >.
I'm sure the KT-34XA is a great antenna, because I've heard them
in use at many LOUD stations. For contesting however, you cannot
beat the versatility of a steerable stack. Go for it.
Good luck on your project.
