Is that the RAK or BIG RAK? I have a pair of BIG RAK SPID here which have worked great in the 2 years they are up.  One of them has a 2 element moxon-like 40m JK, a full size homebrew 30m and a 6 ele

I had not seen it either.  Then again, I'm about as far as an "experienced hand" as you can get.  But one of the towers I put up out here in 2018 exhibited that unscrewing thing right before my eyes.

Another factor is the width of the band.  I have a homebrew 3-element 30m full size + 4-element 17m combo that uses a conventional hairpin match on both bands.  The 12m is a similar hairpin matched t

A 3 element beam puts the feedpoint near the center and likely within grasp for a bit of tweaking from the mast.  I view it as the right tool for the job.  An OWA is a good pick for the wide band HF.
