[TowerTalk] LPDA optimal height

I am also not a fan of these types of testimonials. You can work DX with
anything.  I have accidentally called a DX station on the wrong band
antenna with the SWR sky high and they came right back to me with a
report.

It looks like Innovantenna and OptiBeam are now making ham specific log
Yagis which have to be better than traditional log periodics.

"Fairly enlightening" would be about the most complimentary thing I would
say about it.

I love this quote from G0KSC in the article:

"We had a small radio - an IC-706 - and the first call with 80 W on 20
meters got us an LY2. So, it works ! That's a first, if you like"

For those of you old enough to remember, this rings like an old Gotham
antenna ad !
