My 2016 withstood some big winds up to 70 MPH. Just right after a year of ownership SWR would spike just for an instant randomly.

Traded a local amp builder the antenna for some amp repair. He took it apart, and it had loose solder joint that just fell apart when he touched it. He made a ground mounted 1/4 wave ground plane out of it. The radial sockets are perfect for sloping wire radials he said.
