Yes, that article described the process by which I arrived at the
broadband version.

Since then there have been a couple of write-ups in the monthly
Antenna column of RadioCommunication magazine, and RSGB published the
design in their recent book "Building successful HF antennas". You may
also have seen Leo's (K4KIO) constructional article in the March
edition of QST. All that has generated quite a lot of interest in the
antenna.

I try to avoid exagerated claims for the design - at the end of the
day it's a "compressed" Yagi and performs as such. But it does provide
useful directivity over the five bands 20m thru 10m, with a single
feedline, in a size which suits those of us that don't have a lot of
space. It's also pretty easy to construct from readily-available
materials, although a number of folk now supply complete kits,
including K4KIO and more recently DX Engineering.
