I have just this past week assembled and put up a Hy-Gain TH3JR.  It is a 
light weight unit at only 20 pounds. I am using a roof mounted set-up and
this was one of the reasons I selected the antenna.  Also, I had helped
a friend with his th7... and was impressed with the construction.

	
It is rugged enough to withstand most weather and I have noticed a sig-
nificant improvement over my trap dipole.  The only problem you might
have is with power rating.  It is rated at only 600wpep.  I too am at
a low level and I'm sure that this affects performance.  The Quad is
probably the best but was not a practical alternative for me.  I found
this antenna advertised for as low as 168.00 in some of the QST ads.
Quads are much more expensive.
