Yes. It takes me about 20 minutes to hike the forest and ravines over 
which my Beverages run to reach their far end, and another half hour or 
so to deal with the weatherproofing that protects the termination and 
replace a resistor. That, and the fact that it's no fun to have one fail 
just before a contest or when you're trying to work a rare one, more than 
justifies the cost of using more robust components.
