A German ham informed me about the Ultrabeam antenna and 
provided the URL:

He thinks their controller has better lightning protection than 
the SteppIR controller. He has had a 2 element version for about 
5 years with no major problems. It has survived several storms 
with high winds and the Bavarian winters.
