because of its attribute of removing noise via
capacitive coupling. Basically the connecting impedance
point travelled along the length of the feed dipole
which also provided a broader bandwidth with a stable
impedance.
Pete Rhodes K4EWG did log periodic with yagi reflectors and directors called a Log Yag.
