I also love the OWA designs and flat SWR. All of my homebrew antenna are
designed this way.
My 15m boom is 3" diameter x .125 wall. Perhaps M2 makes a heavy duty
version?

Hi Gary
As Bill K4XS say, the 15M6DX boom is not strong, is just .065 wall and
really
not good for a 44ft boom.
My boom 15M6 boom broken in half where the clamps support it to the mast to
boom plate, caused but strong winds and vibration.
Then I bought the HD boom and the antenna looks very well.
Maybe you can add just a tube over it in the section that will be attached
to
the tower.
I have 15 mts and 20 mts M2 yagi´s. This were my first monobands yagi. After
that I purchased antennas from G0KSC, the actual owner of Force12, and I
really
love this flat SWR antennas! Once you operate with a flat SWR antenna
across
the ENTIRE band, you will want to have always this kind of antennas
73,
