I beg to differ!  I was used to HyGain antennas made in Lincoln for most of 
my life and was a wee bit skeptical about buying an "MFJ" HyGain 4 element 
6 meter beam.  As it turned out, I had good reason for this skepticism 
because after only a month or so, the 4el beam had lost it's first element 
and 2 others broke off during the winter months here in Iowa!!  Sent it 
back and put up an M2 for 6 meters and have been happy ever since.
