I would rather put together a new one than try to refurb an existing XA.
Screwing around with disassembling and then re-assembling a used XA is WAY
too much work.
IMO the TH11 is a very good high performance antenna that just hasn't
gotten the press or exposure of the other 2 high performance tribanders - the
TH7 and the KT34XA.
BTW, Roger Cox from Hy-Gain says that the TH11 is the better antenna of
the two Hy-Gain products.
