answer is all I need..

In "normal" Yagi antennae, the elements are parallel
and at 90 degrees to the mounting boom.

In some TV antennae, the elements are at an angle to the
mounting boom, slanted in the direction of the station being
received. Otherwise, they look pretty much like a Yagi.

My question is, what effect does "slanting" the elements
forward have on the impedance, and the pattern ?

Thanks in advance for the meaningful answers..

Quick answer you say ? A change in direction of current flow inpedes
that flow. Radiation is at right angles to the radiator thus radiation
drops of at the centre at that same point.
Short enough ?
