Default Myths and Legends of Antennae

The rhombic was a big deal in it's day back when huge, empty areas were
readily available and better antennas had not yet been invented.


I like apples and strawberries, but I'll not go into it.

I had a very quick look at log-periodic antennas before I sleep. That looks
like a much more practical notion to me. I guess practical DIY might still be
limited to shorter wavelengths, but it looks like a neat, compact and solid
antenna design, ideally suited to anyone with some accurate tooling and a
need for directivity combined with a relatively broad bandwith reducing need
for adjustments. Would it be a contender against a tuned magnetic loop for a
beginner's experiment?
