[SCCC] Another ant question

[Leigh S. Jones]

The C-3 is a solid mechanical design with good electrical performance.

The KT-34XA is a hot but fragile design with a number of weak points
and lower wind survivability.  It will provide you with higher
performance
but demand occasional repairs.  It will load your tower more heavily,
stress your rotator more, and repay you with significantly improved
electrical performance.  But a few KT-34XA's may give you
unexpectedly high VSWR's and reduced F/B ratios on some bands due
to hard to locate assembly defects.
