I've built and installed numerous JK models, including the 3040SR, and found
them all to be of sturdy construction and the manuals easy to follow. Support
from Ken was tremendous.

Elliot,
I have several JK Antennas including a 3040SR which has 4 elements on 40m and 3
elements on 30m. All 7 elements are coil loaded.
These are robust antennas and the hardware is excellent. We have very windy
conditions here in Amarillo and the antennas are holding up nicely.
I'm sure my yagi is using the same hardware and tubing that is used in the
dipoles.
Don't hesitate ordering from JK. The service is excellent and the antenna will
be excellent.
