Hi Bill.I have a JK 30/40 and I can attest to the robust construction of this 
antenna. Also, my swr from 7.0 to 7.2 is under 2 to 1.  The JK 30/40 is mounted 
8 feet above an XR-5 yagi and they work well together :)73,Paul  W2JGQ In a

In the process of what to do about 40 meters at my new location and I have a 
few questions for the group.  I will have one 126 or 136 foot tower (Rohn 55 
with Phillystran guys.  Plans are to stack two 2 2-element Yagis.  I've 
narrowed it down to the Cushcraft XM-240 and the JK mid-tri 40.  Realize they 
are two different approaches  to the issue but I have lots of different ways to 
go.  What I am concerned about ...First, I have spoken to Ken  at JK and he 
assures me we can get less than 2:1 SWR from 7.0 to 7.2.   The Cushcraft's info 
says 250kHz for the XM240.  I'm curious as to other's experiences with either 
antenna as far as structural integrity, band width, performance, any issues 
etc.  Also wondering if anyone has stacked these and what effect it had on the 
SWR curve.Thanks for the help.Bill
