Innovantennas are designed in England but WIMO in Germany manufactures
and ships th Innovantennas. You might contact them, that is who I got
replacement parts from last year.

Hello
Does anybody know about Innovantennas contact?
I emailed both support@innovantennas.com and sales@innovantennas.com and
now answer
Same here, no answer to repeated e-mails. My question had to do with
the fact that both the booms and elements of my 4-element 6M LFA-Q
"quad" antenna resonate when the wind blows, either direction, with
the boom plane or with the element plane. Obviously, I have to put
rope inside the elements and boom to tame that (as Hygain has one do
with the elements on their VB66DX 6-element 6M yagi). This is kinda
curious as Innovantenna's web page for the LFA-Q shows several people
with LFA-Qs sitting way up high on tall towers. I'd hate to have had
to hire a tower-climber to put the thing up all that way, then find
out the booms and elements bounce around in moderate wind like Twiggy
doing the shimmy way back in Laugh-In shows 8-P
The instructions also did not state how far to insert the ends of the
elements. I was also furnished only half the required hardware to
assemble the two booms of my "quad" and I wanted to let them know
about that shortcoming; the manual is also incorrect on that count. I
had to buy hardware from my hardware store and fortunately, they had
metric bolts which are required because the boom is tapped for metric
bolts. Since Innovantenna products are European, they have an
obscession with metric hardware 8-). But Innovantenna seems to be
deaf. I didn't try DXE since they don't make the antlers, just market
them.
As a positive aside, I'm more than happy with the performance of the
LFA-Q.
