Log periodics give less gain than a similar size yagi, they also cost more, so are only worth using if you need the wide bandwidth. Interestingly enough, the BBC always used to use log periodic aerials, presumably as it meant they only had to stock one aerial?. -- Nigel. /--------------------------------------------------------------\ | Nigel Goodwin | Internet : nigelg@lpilsley.co.uk | | Lower Pilsley | Web Page : http://www.lpilsley.co.uk | | Chesterfield | Official site for Shin Ki and New Spirit | | England | Ju Jitsu | \--------------------------------------------------------------/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
