thanks bill



*     seems like a good idea to me, anyway. less weight and wind loading

 or are
you driving one and leaving the other in place (i.e. 6 total). 


*     but i would consider this also, if its 'better', mostly simpler or
*     has enough incremental gain to justify the weight and wind load.

 There
is probably little difference in the OWA approach vs log cell (i.e.
both using 6 total elements with the OWA having a close-spaced director
to match 50 ohms).

        YO7 has models of KLM antennas including the log cells, and
it's fairly easy to optimize the original KLM designs with YO7.

 
*    YO7 seems to no longer be available to the public.
*    I have tried to get YO7, from K6STI, but brian is not the least bit 
interested 
*    in selling any more copies. he is totally burned out on ham radio.
*    is there a currently available equivalent software package?

>curiously, though, by tweaking the single driven element length, i 
get a pretty
nice
swr / freq bandwidth with it fed DIRECTLY with 50 ohms. was thinking of
applying the 'owa' approach with an additional director, closely spaced to
the driven element, but it does not seem necessary.

        You didn't really say what you're doing.  Are you replacing
the dual driven log cell with a single element (i.e. 5 total)
