Hello- I have been reading some of the comments regarding M2 quality
control. I have never had an issue myself with any M2 antenna workmanship, and
I have bought quite a few over the years for 6 meters through 1296 Mhz. I will
say that I had two of the 2M18XXX's that were stacked 14' apart, on an alum 2"
x 0.250 wall 6061-T6 x 24' long on a 92' tower, near Houston, TX several years
back. A spring storm blew in and bent the booms on both. Being that the mast
survived with no damage (18' out top of tower) but antenna booms suffered
damage suggested that wind speeds were below the antenna ratings. I contacted
M2 and they voluntarily replaced my two antennas; in addition they doubled up
the boom thicknesses in center sections of both antennas. No charge for
anything. So I feel they are to be commended for standing behind their
products, plus providing me with a more rugged replacement. A representative at
M2 has spent a lot of time with me on the phone at various times ,discussing
antenna installation pros and cons. I just thought I would relay my
experiences. Sincerely, Byron WA5THJ
