[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Re: 40 metres yagi - Your advice matters

I second this - JK builds a super strong antenna. I just installed s/n 1 
of their new 2L 80m, 100' tip to tip, less than 6' sag, no truss on the 
elements.  The loading coils are done right.

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.
