I had the opportunity to frequently communicate with Jay when he was first getting into the business. His initial goal was to come up with an "as good as or better than" replacement for the discontinued 5/8 wave Hygain Super penetrator base station antenna. And he did! Then he started improving his product's design by trial and error testing, (Extensive and exhausting testing regarding a lot of time in automobiles with portable field strength meters). When he started delivering his first antennas, he had a policy of free replacement of any parts that failed , either from high winds, lightning, high power, etc... He then incorporated those heavier duty parts into all new antennas he made to eliminate those 'weak links'. This process continued to improve the product over time to where I believe he has earned the right to make some boisterous claims about his product based on his field success; rather than some engineer's mathamatical determination of theoretical antenna gain VS an isotropic source. He might not be a graduate engineer, but in my opinion he certainly deserves credit for being smart, hard working, and honest.
