Default Log-Periodic Antenna Design

Twin lead could make a comeback since there won't be such a worry about the
low band interference issue. Actually much less loss than coax.


Maybe... when it's new, of the right type (e.g. tubular), clean, dry,
and carefully installed.

My understanding is that the performance of 300-ohm twinlead
installations tends to deteriorate significantly after a few years
(sunlight and ozone attacks the twinlead, and dirt and pollution
builds up) and during wet weather.
