Bob,

Here is some data that I took a few years ago when I was rebuilding
one of those beasts along with data that Mike Stahl K6MYC sent
me from his KLM design notebook (Mike designed the KT34XA when
he was at KLM):

UseK6MYC's notebook data for your comparison. He tested each
element up 28 feet with a balun. I only had mine 10 ft above the roof
of the facility where I was testing (the purpose of my test was just to
make sure that there weren't any gross problems with the traps in
each element).

Good Luck!!
