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.
