I believe Optibeam's version adds a reflector for the lowest band and
director for the highest band.
Amazing amounts of front to back and the gain of a 3 or 4+ element yagi,
depending on boom length.

I am also not a fan of these types of testimonials. You can work DX with
anything. I have accidentally called a DX station on the wrong band
antenna with the SWR sky high and they came right back to me with a
report.
It looks like Innovantenna and OptiBeam are now making ham specific log
Yagis which have to be better than traditional log periodics.

"Fairly enlightening" would be about the most complimentary thing I would
say about it.
I love this quote from G0KSC in the article:
"We had a small radio - an IC-706 - and the first call with 80 W on 20
meters got us an LY2. So, it works ! That's a first, if you like"
For those of you old enough to remember, this rings like an old Gotham
antenna ad !
