ClubLog is a small sample full of variables and know for science, rules it 
invalid- , but it does include a lot of operators around the world reporting 
their results- I am very open to hearing what other means there are to rate 
antennas...................E-Ham is rather subjective, but with enough 
reports, even that sample size has relevance- If I compare my 2013 DX 
results with others who are competitive that year, like many ops on ClubLog, 
or in the CQ Marathon, at least the playing field is more level for 
referencing the antenna performance, engineering of the station, 
etc.........that’s all I am suggesting.....it is better to have something 
than nothing when performance of an antennas in a certain class are 
discussed- And since antennas are the major component of any station, I'm 
not saying I did great over the coax I used- hihi  The Tennadyne log 
periodic simply get very little mention anytime someone asks about a small 
to medium size 5 band antenna......I used the T6 on a 14 foot boom and it 
worked great- but that was back in the late 1990's...now I have some kind of 
dtat to compare to, I can see that the Tennadyne T-8 holds it own-

Working DX is no indication of antenna performance. CQ Marathon is a year
long event, the more hours you operate the more countries you will work.
