I’m looking to replace a very old 3 element tribander. I’m looking at either
KT34M2, or OptiBeam OB9-5. Both have similar gain and f/b figures. My question,
does anyone have experience with these in cold, snowy, and sometimes ice
covered conditions. The KT34 has a wind load of 4.5 sq ft, and the OptiBeam 7.8
sq ft probably due to the sq boom and full sized elements(36ft) vs 25ft on the
KT34. The antenna will be mounted on a 9 ft quad pod tower on the garage roof,
about 30 ft above ground, (can’t afford a real tower set up). Any information
will be greatly appreciated.
