Same here, no answer to repeated e-mails. My question had to do with the 
fact that both the booms and elements of my 4-element 6M LFA-Q "quad" 
antenna resonate when the wind blows, either direction, with the boom 
plane or with the element plane. Obviously, I have to put rope inside 
the elements and boom to tame that (as Hygain has one do with the 
elements on their VB66DX 6-element 6M yagi). This is kinda curious as 
Innovantenna's web page for the LFA-Q shows several people with LFA-Qs 
sitting way up high on tall towers. I'd hate to have had to hire a 
tower-climber to put the thing up all that way, then find out the booms 
and elements bounce around in moderate wind like Twiggy doing the shimmy 
way back in Laugh-In shows  8-P

The instructions also did not state how far to insert the ends of the 
elements. I was also furnished only half the required hardware to 
assemble the two booms of my "quad" and I wanted to let them know about 
that shortcoming; the manual is also incorrect on that count. I had to 
buy hardware from my hardware store and fortunately, they had metric 
bolts which are required because the boom is tapped for metric bolts.  
Since Innovantenna products are European, they have an obscession with 
metric hardware 8-). But Innovantenna seems to be deaf. I didn't try DXE 
since they don't make the antlers, just market them.

As a positive aside, I'm more than happy with the performance of the LFA-Q.
