JK401, definitely. It’s a proper 100 MPH design with no stays needed, USA
materials, USA support and a very nice manual. I have to be pretty desperate
to buy an antenna from anyone else these days.
I have an Optibeam OB1-4030 and it’s built like a wet noodle. An estimate using
YagiStress showed that it was, at best a 60 MPH design. I completely replaced
all the parts in the center 6 ft to beef it up to almost the JK standard for my
hilltop location. Only bought it because we also needed 30m.
