I'm not sure I agree. The antennas are designed using Yagistress, which is
very much state-of-the-art in boom and element design. They are designed
to a new paradigm, using very aggressively tapered elements to achieve a
design that looks light and sheds the wind very well. I'd be reluctant to
conclude, just based on intuitive "feel," that it is light duty at all.
