David,
My bad. Clearly a case of seeing what you want to see. Dual-band yagi,
maybe, but a log covering 2m to 70 cm with 5 elements, hardly. I wonder if
the math would work...there'd be pretty big holes in coverage even so, I'd
think. Years ago, I came in 2nd place in a DF Fox Hunt using the 2m
quarter-wave on the roof of my car and a home-made 4 in. diameter loop
antenna to null the signal direction (a little skill and luck, too.) The
winners had a yagi and a step attenuator.
Hopefully it will still serve the purpose.
