[TowerTalk] log periodic antennas

[Thor Hallen]

I recently replaced a Force 12 C3SS with a Tennadyne T6 log periodic to be
able to work 17 meters. The T6 has consistent good performance from 14 to 30
MHz with VSWR of 2:1 or less. The tradeoff with a log periodic versus a yagi
with comparible boom lengths is slightly lower directivity. There is a good
article in the ARRL Antenna Compendium Volume 6 by K9LA that contains
measured data and an EZNEC model. All materials are high quality and
assembly is straight forward. Chuck at Tennadyne is very helpful if you have
questions.
