>From my very limited experience JK Antennas seems to have some well built
antennas and a good rep for support.
I know a few folks on the list are using them.

73, Jeff

##  agreed. The various W3JK  40m  coil loaded yagis dont resonate on 15M. 
They wont screw up  a monobander, nor a tribander either.
And they dont use metric sized tubing like optibeam...which is my only complaint
about the optibeam yagis.  A buddy finally found a source for metric sized 
tubing, but
what a gong show, never again. 

https://jkantennas.com/antennas.html  They make a total of  5 x different  40m 
yagis.

3-el 40m yagi, with coils.... on a 30 ft boom. https://jkantennas.com/jk403.html

4-el  40m yagi, with coils.... on a 36 ft boom.   
https://jkantennas.com/jk404c.html

Neither of the above require ele truss lines either....very well designed and 
built.
