[TowerTalk] My Experience with M² and 1/16" Error

[Mike Fahmie via TowerTalk]

I purchased a KT34A from M² a few years ago.  My tower project was delayed and I didn't get around to assembling the antenna for almost 2 years.
Before starting assembly, I did an inventory of parts, those of you familiar with the KT34A know how many parts are involved. Well, every single part was there but, like Lizeth, there was a 1/16" error, not in element length but in the thickness of the boom to mast plate. 

I gave M² a phone call and described the problem. The antenna was well out of warranty, but I had the proper part in my hand the very next day!  I have at least 8 M² antennas, both HF and VHF/UHF, and with the exception of the KT, every one was complete and accurate. I only wish my Tax Man was that good!
