The Yagi in many ways is the first choice antenna.

It doesn`t increase windloading with conductors which add little to the
gain. It doesn`t require more than one drivepoint.

Terman and Kraus liked it and document it.

In Arnold B. Bailey`s catalog of antennas in "TV and Other Receiving
Antennas", no better array of simple wires, driven or parasitic, is to
be found.

If Art can best the Yagi, he should post a comparison.

O.k. all the guys you refer to are dead. Let us go with the majoratory
and assume they were correct before the passage of time. Now NEC is
alive and well and it is still used. We have found that it produces
arrays that the majority state is impossible, What do we do now, thro
NEC out of the window? Do we correct the underpinnings of NEC? Do we
push it under the carpet? This is not Congress, science requires
action.
