Joe,

We use all antennas from Directive Systems including loopers for 903
through 3.4ghz.  We have had a few minor tree strikes that have been some
loops over but they bend back into shape pretty easily.  They also handle
a pretty good wind load.  They have been road tested at over 100mph wind
load.  Not a day I want to repeat driving over the Chesapeaky Bay Bridge
with a 45-50mph cross wind.  You can see more details on what we have on
our website.

73's,
Dave W3DIO (K3LFO/R team)
