903 and 1296 - loop yagis
2304 and up - dishes (although I've been thinking about building a looper
for 2304)

The thing I've found about loopers is that they are more receptive to
abuse than regular yagis - if you bend an element, it's easy to bend it
back into place and the antenna still works well.
