I have the JK 2 element coil loaded JK yagi with 47 ft elements. Very
impressive mechanical construction. The Grande is built massively. There are
pictures on jkantennas.com and on the facebook page. I know there are Grande
models all over the world, some even stacked. I have not heard of any problems
at all with them. I've talked to hams in Fla., Kuwait, Japan and WV, all using
the JKs successfully.
