I sent Pedro some info since I have a TA-33jr with MPK
dipole............... also had a TA-36 with 40 meter traps, too.
I told him the key was to measure the boom length. The
TA-33 had a 14 foot boom but the TA-33jr had a 12 foot
boom. If he has a 33jr with the MPK it would be with the 12
foot boom. I haven't heard back from him from the
message I sent several hours ago.
