Dan,
I'm not trying to pick a fight and I know that I am going to regret asking
this question but...
How can a 4 element multiband yagi with a compromised boom length deliver
gain approximating that of a well designed 5 element monobander? This
doesn't seem to make sense to me. (Regardless of who made the antennas.)
Bill, W5VX
