[TowerTalk] log periodics susceptible to out-of-band interference

[W5CPT]

When receivers had front ends as wide as barn doors the broad banded characteristics of the LP were a consideration. Today with modern receivers it is much less to worry about.  If you are getting Broadcast Band interference (on any band but 160 where I doubt if you have an LP) I suggest you look to your desk top not your tower top.

  This is a question i.e. not bad mouthing log periodics!

  It seems to me that a Steppir kind of antenna rejects out-of-band interference while log periodics enhance out-of-band interference.

  During contests and shortwave broadcasting can cause some really strong signal interference.  

  comments?
