Today is the 130th birthday of Hidetsugu Yagi, co-inventor of the Yagi-Uda antenna. Yes, the co-inventor.
2016 is the 90th anniversary of the antenna's patent being granted, a technology which revolutionized radio
communication and played a large part in making our endeavors as amateur radio operators more global in scope. It's also one of the main reasons we're all able to work satellites and have directional high gain arrays for HF as well.
