Hi Joe, Bill Olson recommends Directive Systems Yagis for the lower 4 bands and
also Directive Systems Loop yagis for 33cm on up.. yeah you might say I am
biased, but I use both on my rover and have for years.. any problem with
loopers on a vehicle would not be wind load, it would probably be with "tree
limb" load.. but this can be a problem with any Yagi i think.
I honestly cannot belive anyone says a loop Yagi would have problems with a
65-75mph wind!!! what happens? the loops blow over??? Nah.. I'd actually like
to hear about any wind problems with a Loop yagi.. (oh gawd, I left myself open
on that one.. here we go....)
bill olson, K1DY
