Anyone have any practical LPY (log-periodic Yagi) antenna designs they
care to share? Something with about 4% or 5% bandwidth in the VHF/low
UHF range should do well--the element diameters should be appropriate
for scaling the design to my frequencies of interest. 10dBi or so
gain is probably fine.

Cheers,
Tom

Let's see...500MHz to 1.05*500MHz = 525MHz; boom long enough to get me
about 10dBi over that range. I'll scale it to my particular
frequencies of interest, so any other ~5% bandwidth in that general
vicinity of frequencies would be fine too.

Cheers,
Tom
