Last opportunity before it goes to Timonium hamfest on 31 March:
Why pay $1349 for the 4 element KT34M2 (w/ shorter boom) or $1849 for the KT36XA (see Texas Towers ad in April QST) – true, both are improved models strength-wise but this beam has survived our MD winters & hi-winds for 10 years. I believe the M2 update kit to make the KT-34XA into a KT36XA only runs $200 – Google it & read the reports.
This KT-34XA 20-15-10 meter beam is available for $250. It was in use until removed from my tower & is on the ground in ~8’ sections – easily fits on a car or van roof rack.
At this price, consider storing it until you can put up a tower (or whatever…….).
