Mine has been up through some massive storms and it's fine. It wasn't that hard to build and tune for a first time beam antenna builder.Homemade is my favourite too.
BTW that sy27 is very poorly built.

An A-99 is my second antenna. They are cheap, work every time with a good match, and are surprisingly resistant to wind.pt99. cheap, works, made it through 70mph breeze. lots may laugh, but it works just fine for me. seen lots of people upset about their expensive antennas. homebrew might be your best bet according to lots of folks
I remember seeing the falcon antennas on ebay back many moons ago and hadn't even heard of them until reading your post. A place I bought from several times back then had them too. Pacific Radios out of California, not sure if they even still exist.Falcon 11 Meter Dipole mounted in an Inverted V configuration in the attic less than 20 feet off the ground for the last 15 years. I have talked to just about every state in the US and many foreign countries with less than 150 watts. Can't ask for much more from an antenna that cost less than $30.00 back in 2009. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
