Yep, before we put up our KLM's, we bought Force-12's and called it
good.  Threw the KLM scrap metal remnants from an ice storm
in the trash and used what was left over to make a six meter beam.

Yep, typically on the part of the design team who came up with a
mechanical monster.  Amazing local zoning boards haven't
banned them as projectile weapons.

Just one ham's opinion....
