I think the step yagi is a very cool concept......but why not just go with a short boom log periodic, like a T6, or a small Force 12, and save the potential for future mechanical problems? I would love to test a step yagi compared to other short boom beams- Has anyone had a chance to do this and if so, what were the results? 73 Paul N0AH/7 The Furthest SE W7 Station in the World- Har!
