[TowerTalk] Skyhawk, KT36XA, opinions requested

[Jay Schwisow]

I have a KT36XA in the air at a 100feet in a very windy part of 
Colorado.     The construction took some time but it all went together 
fine and it has withstood some intense hail storms nearby tornados and 
again....strong winds.  The antenna plays very well on 10-20 and no SWR 
problems...very broadbanded.   I cannot speak to the early KT34 but this 
antenna has no problems or anomalies to date.

Compared to the Skyhawk expect  the longer boom  of the XA to inch out a 
bit more gain.

My $0.02,

Jay - KT5E
