I believe Comprod is a break-off group of former Sinclair people. Most of their
products look exactly like Sinclair products.

Thanks for your input! I did call them and it looks like a good shot. Their
amateur price was in the ball park. It sounds like a small company in New York.

Sinclair makes decent antennas, but if you really want something to survive
in a harsh environment, check out Comprod Communications.

They make antennas that survive nearly anything. Out here on the West Coast
we routinely get lots of hard rime ice on coastal mountaintop sites, combined
with 100mph+ sustained winds.
Sinclair antennas get elements snapped off all the time (inherent design
flaws, even on their HD antennas). The Comprod antennas keep on going.
Regardless, stay away from Bluewave... they may look like a good antenna
(and physically they are strong), but some of their models have water ingress
problems which lead to antenna failure.
