- 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

- 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.
