Thanks to those 4 who responded. Specifically: 1) I want to check the element
lengths as they are obviously stagger tuned for wide bandwidth and some of the
elements may have been replaced by the previous user. Floyd (KC5QBC) or Bob
(W2CNS): If you have access to the antenna and can measure the element
lengths; the info would be appreciated. The element spacing is defined by the
holes in the boom. This may benefit Roger (K8RI) as well. 2) Arne (N7KA): If
you can provide a copy of the '81 KLM catalog page to Floyd & I this would also
be great.. Thanks again.
73, Mike K6QD

I have 3 of the 11 element. I can measure one if you need it. What I want is
the original paper or a copy of that '81 catalog showing some data. I have used
them for 10 years and one nice byproduct of the log driven style is they will
also match on 432 and the transmitter will be happy. They of course are not
very efficient on 432, but they will handle an odd qso if needed.

I have a pair of the 14L versions of this antenna out in the shop.
Unfortunately I don't think the element dimensions are the same and the boom
is considrably longer.
I'm thinking of replacing my pair of 12L C3i FO144s with them when I get the
C3i antennas down.
OTOH I have to reassemble them out of a big box full of parts.
