Hello Gran,
I have had good luck with "Antennex" welded yagi ant.

Last weekend there were a number of 110 MPH gusts. The problem is wind noise. I have tightened the element hardware with some success. Spray it with water and it is quiet while tapping the boom with a small hammer. The beam is mounted on a 1 1/2 inch fiberglass pole. This is a 195 mile link and using 15 watts out of the duplexer. This has worked fairly well for fifteen years but the noise is a recurring problem. Some thoughts using conductive epoxy, came to mind but also I was looking for a supplier of a welded maybe 9 element yagi that might work. We need a yagi to give co channel protection to the North (beam headed East). Gran K6RIF
