Hi Tom,

Compare a yagi to a rhomboid.

And, as I said, for some, perhaps many, contesting situations, low side
lobes are a good idea. On the east and west coasts, it's often good to
have as much F/B and F/S as possible because of the population density
and direction of it, while in the midwest the situation is quite
different, with few stations scattered all over the map, and it's
desirable to have sidelobes and rear lobes around -15 or so.
