[TowerTalk] C31-XR versus KT36XA

[Phil - KB9CRY]

No problem Dave.  Here's the short text:

If your old antenna never worked quite right on 15M and was resonant low 
in the band, you may have 16" long capacitor tubes with the wrong wall 
thickness.  The correct wall thickness is .049 inch (same as the short 
10 meter tubes).  If yours measure .058 inch, you should call us (M2, 
ed) to obtain the correct tubes.

Mine, fortunately were the correct ones.  Gd luck, Phil  KB9CRY
