Arnie,
I have one of the old KLM 40m-1 antennas and have used it for years. So far it
has served me well. They do not normally need a truss support. I don't know
what the wind specs are for your area of the country, but for the northwest
where I am located, no truss is needed, nor called for in the documentation.
I don't think the antenna is anything to "write home about" but it is a very
good antenna for a shortened 40. And it handles and turns easily on a tower. I
have no idea how it would compare to a CushCraft.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Klm 40m-1
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
