What brand to choose? I’ve been holding my tongue for a long time but here
goes. The answer is in this evidence: My direct observation of 10 Innovantenna
Yagis with 10 complete failures. No, make that 11/10 after one boom broke for
the second time. And have you ever heard of a boom bending and failing
SIDEWAYS? Ask W6TCP, who had four 22 element 2m X-pols do exactly that. Then
his quad 70cm array had 2 booms break and a glorious scattering of elements on
the ground. And two 6m LFAs with snapped booms. What a bunch of junk. BTW I got
$8 at the scrap dealer for a 5L 6m.
Now it’s JK all the time. Or M Squared if JK doesn’t offer it. Some models from
Antennas-Amplifiers are also ok but others have crappy boom couplings. Square
metric tubing. No thank you.
