        NOPE.  The founder's son drove the business into
        the ground by substituting lower grade aluminum
        and behaving like a horse's behind towards his customers.
        Later versions of the long boom antennas showed 
        severe wear at the boom to element holes.  Some
        booms weakened to the point where end elements
        broke off.

        NOPE.

        Good Luck.  Maybe some owners can copy their
        very minimal data sheets.  FWIW, the antenna
        designs were VERY GOOD, reflecting an incredible
        amount of perseverence on their antenna test range.
        My Telrex 3L20 pattern and gain plots vs frequency
        are almost identical to the HG 204BA.
