  If you're looking for log periodic yagi
that covers amateur frequencies I just happened to pick up a QST, June
2013, pg. 56 "Short Takes" column by Steve Ford, WB8IMY. There, he reviewed
a hand held VHF/UHF Log Periodic Yagi from Elk Antennas, model 2M/440L5.
I have two of them, my intention being to mount them broadside, replacing a TV antenna I don't use for 2 and 440. It's on the to-do list.

Thing is, an LPDA pattern can be quite wide, as is a short yagi's. You need a long yagi to pinpoint soucces.
