If you are happy with the KT34XA, and since you already have it up,
the most cost effective solution would be to add a WARC beam.
The A3WS seems to do a good job for it's size and you can add 30M
as well. Many antenna guru's believe that trap losses are small
(<1 dB) and that the main thing you give up in trap beams is
bandwidth, assuming the antenna is designed well to begin with.
On the narrow WARC bands, this is not a problem. HyGain, Mosley,
and F12 all have duo-band Yagi's as well.
For those who need 5 bands in a single antenna, the TH11, F12 - 5BA,
and 5 band Quads look good. IMHO any of these will have more gain
than a small Log Periodic.
