[TowerTalk] Klm 40m-1

[Mike & Becca Krzystyniak]

Hi Arnie,

    No truss support needed.  It's a gull wing design like the older KLM yagi's were.

    It is a shorty forty so it is somewhat bandwidth limited.  
    As a dipole there is reasonable rejection off the ends.
    I had mine for 15 years, fixed mounted and rotated with other antennas.  

    The only issue I had was where the folded loading structure attached to the main element.
    Over time mine developed some noise from a degrading connection, so I strapped aroound it.

    Otherwise, No issues.

73's  Mike K9MK/5

I have a chance to buy a klm 40m1 rotatable dipole. The fella said its on the ground. He said he "refurbished it" he has some paperwork for it and a 5kw balun with it. My questions are, does this antenna need a truss support and how do I put one on, was this antenna really anything to write home about. How does it compare to say... the cushcraft d40?Arnie Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S®6 active, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone _______________________________________________
