Unless it's a KLM!  That was one of the biggest problems I had with my
34XA.  The pattern really sucked when I had my wire antennas for low
band tied to the top of my tower and acting as guys.  Moving them down
improved the pattern considerably.  Most of us who have had one also
know that the f/b on an XA sucked anyway, it was just worse with the
wires nearby.
