A ten element yagi for 160 at 1 wave high is quite a challenge. A four
square, or as a few have done, a 9 square vertical is a much better
antenna for 160 than most any yagi one could put up. Compare that to
most of us with inverted L's or shunt fed towers over less than perfect
ground. We are pipsqueaks most of the time compared to these monsters.
It is a good thing that propagation does not ALWAYS favor the big gun.
