The BW price seems a little high, considering they are advertising in a ham magazine. However, please think a little before claiming it is an almost useless antenna. I believe it consumes up to half
Who cares, and why has this stupid post still going on anyway? Must be nice to be able to waste time posting such useless stupid crap. Pete NA2P _______________________________________________ ______

< snip > It depends on what you mean by smaller but in the normal sense, I doubt it would work out that way. The design programs will show a "full size" yagi should perform the best compared to well
How true! I had a 3 element TH-3 up for a while. I never did care for how it worked so I took it down and made a 2 element 20 meter monobander (smaller antenna) out of it, which worked much better t
This is true for yagis, but not for antennas in general. In general, for instance, an all driven phased array can outperform a yagi (in which N-1 element are passively excited) of the same size. This
I think most have missed the point of the original poster on "antenna size". I believe what he was referring to when he said "a small antenna radiates just as well as a large antenna" was in referenc
