I read the archives and your post got a little corrupt, I think you are
referring to this antenna:
http://www.force12inc.com/products/6ba-12-element-yagi-for-40m-20m-17m-15m-1
2m-10m-upgraded-design-for-2016.html . It would be interesting to see a
model of something like this compared to a log periodic with the same boom
length. Typically the 2el per band interlaced Yagis work well, I used a
small LP once and never felt strong. Also with the hot boom on a LP you
have to take special precautions to minimize common mode current.
Sorry to hear that you had quality and communication issues with Force 12
but I hope that you now enjoy your new six band antenna.

Rich,
This might be worth an alternative look, basically a series of two el yagis.
Force12 6BA (six band 10-40, single feedline, 22' boom, no traps)

I have this antenna at 72' and am currently assessing how well it works.
I can tell you I had one helluva time with quality and communication issues
with Force12 in Colorado. More on that later.
