Pat and Towertalk,

I thought this might make some changes so I assembled the element and
brought out my MFJ 259 (the old version).   Since this is a director the
element should be above the dual driven element freq.   Here is what I find:

20 meters   14.390
15 meters    21.440
10 meters     29.15

The 2nd director (15 and 20) or 3rd director (10) looks like this:

20 meters  14.470
15 meters   21.490
10 meters    29.440
Looks like 20 meters is OK.  I may be close on 15 and 10.  Anybody know the
design freq for each of the KT34XA elements?
