[CQ-Contest] [TowerTalk] Skyhawk, KT36XA, opinions requested

[Peter Voelpel]

At least that explains something, small capacity changes, especially at a
current node effectively retune antennas.

Wonder why one has to to buy a book to get aware of that.

Regarding KT-34XA anomalies:

Toward the end of KLM's production run of XA's, they mistakenly shipped some
antennas where the 16" length capacitor tubes had a wall thickness of .058"
instead of the correct .049".  This error totally degraded the performance
of the antenna. Steve and Ward's Antenna Comparison Report apparently used
one of these bad antennas in their testing, so the results are totally
non-representative of either a correctly functioning KLM or
M2 unit.
