   The KLM KT34A is a reasonable performer.  The wind survivability is 100
MPH so your  concern should be with the supporting structure and not the
antenna.  BTW, Hy-Gain antennas are rated at 100 MPH while the Cushcrafts are
rated at 80 MPH.  According to my Atlas, you are in Niagra County which has a
relatively low TIA-222-E rating of 75 MPH.  Your installation should be built
with this spec as the minimum criteria.

   Other short boom tribanders you may want to consider are the A3/4 by
Cushcraft, TH3 by Hy-Gain or the new C3 by Force 12.  The C3 may have some
advantages for you.  Contact the factories for more info.  The advantage of
the KT34A is the dual driven element feed that gives you more usable
bandwidth.  

73 and Good Luck,  Steve   K7LXC

Hi friends,   
   
I would like to invite you to the HSC (High Speed Club) Contest which is held   
on 25 February, 1996. The contest is wide open to everybody and does not   
require QRQ. Due to the solar inactivity we missed the DX calls in the last   
HSC tests. Please come and join...   
   
  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------   
				HSC-CW-Contest   
   
Dates:                   There are two contests every year, one on the last   
Sunday of    
		February (Winter Contest) and an other on the first Sunday of  
  
		November (Autumn Contest).   
		The contest has two periods: 0900-1100 and 1500-1700 UTC   
Frequencies:	3,5-7-14-21-28 MHz   
		10 to 30 kHz from the lower band edge   
Mode:		2xCW only   
   
Stations to be worked: all, once per band and periode   
Points:		1 point for own continent,   
		3 points for DX-QSOs.

and contest-rules have been observed". Send logs not later then 6 weeks after  
  
the contest (postmark) to DL8WAA. Results will be published in "cq-DL"   
magazin.    
To get a result list, send SASE or 1 US-$ to DL8WAA.   
  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   
Some odds and ends to consider:   
   
1, The output power used during the contest is limited to 150W output.    
Please leave the amps off, this contest is for the dedicated CW fans   
and is more a CW-op meeting than a killing race for the points...   
   
2, Some of the participants reset his/her serial numbers to 001 at the    
beginning of the second part of the contest in the afternoon. The official   
rules doesn't deal with this issue. Do not let yourself misleaded by this.   
   
3, Please keep the standard of the contest and do not call in the DX   
bands (First 10 kHz from the lower band edge).    
   
4, If you are interested in knowing more about the HSC or other CW clubs   
(like VHSC, HA CW Group, MCWG etc) contact me directly and I can send you    
all the info I have abou them via e-mail. You may find useful having a HSC    
memberlist to check your contest log.    
   
				73 and cu in the test!

THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL SCORES!! DO NOT SEND ME ANY LOGS!! 
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY SCORES TO THE CQ-CONTEST REFLECTOR!!!!
Send scores to the 3830 reflector or to me direct.

These scores are put in the classes by what the person submitted them. 
Please do not email me and tell me there is no such class or it should
be called something else. I only by what the individual sends me.

I believe to subscribe to the 3830 reflector email 3830-REQUEST at akorn,net
and put subscribe in message body.

Please remember if you do not give me a class that I can figure out you
will be put in the Unlimited Class. I have no way of reading your minds.
