[TowerTalk] KLM 40M-2B Opinions Please

I have a chance to buy a used two element linearly loaded 
“shortie-fourty” beam at a low price. It is a KLM 40M-2B. I am a CW only 
operator, so bandwidth isn’t of much concern to me. I would be putting 
it up at 75 ft.

I would like people’s general opinions about this beam compared to other 
two element loaded 40m beams. Are there any endemic shortcomings with 
the KLM beam (other than the company is out of business – M2 now gives 
some support)? Do the lexan element-to-boom saddles hold up?

Thanks – Jeff – KA9S
