[TowerTalk] Log-Yagis

[Maurizio Panicara]

Computer aided design and the open sleeve method (OWA is a sort of in-band
open sleeve) excellently solved BW problems in monobanders.
In my opinion, concerning multiband antennas the LP concept in driven
element still deserve merit.
As  a contester I prefer the effective and simplest solutions, both
mechanical and electrical.
A log-yagi increases mechanical problems and raises impedance and therefore
voltages, not counting the need of a step up balun instead of a simple and
very reliable coax choke.
