Mel,
If WIND and / or ICE is a considertion,
you may want to find a source of 7/16
inch O.D. aluminum tubing thicker than
the 'heavy duty aluminum foil' element
tips provided by HyGain. BENT element
tips is a COMMON condition for most
amateur antennas I've seen from HyGain.
I HATE that they use a non-standard size
that is so hard to find and don't offer a heavier
duty replacement ! TEXAS TOWERS,
are you listening?
