[TowerTalk] Can anyone ID this HF Yagi antenna?

[larryjspammenot@teleport.com]

Thanks for the replies. I was told it is an older KLM model KT-34 tribander yagi. It definitely would need new replacement element insulators and other plastic pieces, so I think it will be relegated to the "spare aluminum tubing pile" unless I find someone locally who wants it. It would definitely need the M-Squared refurbish/upgrade kit and a boom, if it was to be put back in service as a KT-34. 

Thanks to Jim, W7RY and others who ID'ed it after seeing the pictures.

>I was given some used HF yagi antennas that came with a couple of towers that I purchased locally several years ago. One of the antennas appears to be a Hy-Gain Explorer 14, and another one appears to be a 4-element tribander (?) yagi, which didn't come with a boom - only the four elements. It looks old enough that one of the boom-to-element insulators broke in half when I tried lifting the entire assembled element.
