I am picking up a KLM KT34A tomorrow, but I have no tower to mount it on yet. How risky is just mounting it and the rotor (hd-73) on a mast approximatley 27' in the air? The 20' mast will be mounted

Scott, Pardon me for being blunt. But safety must come first...Your plan is unsafe! Our reflector members just all read this week about a very experienced tower climber/Dxer becoming an SK due to poo

I wouldn't use a 6' mast above that little HD-73. The rotator can't handle it. Mount the beam immediately above the rotator. If you put the rotator and beam right above the top house bracket, you can

scott: that installation you have in mind will be good just for medium size TV antenna or just a 2m 12ft boom yagi just with luck a 3 elements 10m yagi but not a KLM KT34A i think your mast is a tele

Scott, that's a nice antenna and I know you have to be anxious to use it. If at all possible, I'd wait until you can get a tower up even 30ft would be better then nothing. Towers anymore, unless they

Scott, KT34A is a good little antenna. Have had several. But you can't put 6' of mast above a rotor. You're asking for trouble, I'm afraid. Consult your rotor manual, but I'd bet that putting the bea

I smile at the responses you have received on your plans for the KT34A. I smile as I agree with most of them. The HD73 is the poorest of all rotors for amateur radio. Has one poor braking system. In

Ok Folks, Thanks for the reality check. I didn't particularly care for the idea I was purposeing but was hoping for at least one "yeah you'll be ok if you just do....." Instead I was inundated, quite

I have had HD73s for a long time. 1st one I went 5 feet above and it fail premature. 2nd one I went 1 foot above the rotor and it lasted a long long time (still have it just no tower). I used 2 1/2"

Although well intentioned, the feedback on N9LJX's KT34-on-apole installation is interesting as I have had pretty much the same thing here & frankly, tribander-on-a-pole is about all one can do here.
