Bob,
If your willing to experiment a little, Antenna Compendium 3 has estimates for a log periodic loop array. I have never heard of one being built. W1NMZ said that he had modelled one and it performed similar to prediction with the exception that I had overestimate the gain over a traditional log periodic dipole array. One design detail that I have not figured out is the spacing of the feed between adjacent loops. With respect to dimension, if I recall correctly, the overall length was about 36 feet and the widest element, the reflector, was about 24 feet. This would result in a turning radius of about 30 feet. If you decide to try out the LPLA, let me know. I am very curious to see if the design works. I would be glad to assist you. Good luck, Duane Allen N6JPO Riverside wrote: very interesred in obtaining data and pricing on smallest possible 10M thu 20M log periodic antenna...........what have you got? |

Look at the 6 element Tennadyne T6. http://www.tennadyne.com/
Very well made and works just like the specs. say it should. -- John Passaneau W3JXP State College Pa wrote in message m... very interesred in obtaining data and pricing on smallest possible 10M thu 20M log periodic antenna...........what have you got? |

I would also chime in as a very satisfied current owner/user of the
Tennadyne T-6 Log Periodic and formerly a T-10 at the old qth. Very well built and does what an antenna of it's size should. At the prior qth the T-10 (24' boom) went through FIVE major ice storms without obvious damage (although when I took it down to move I did notice a crack in the boom at the rear of the antenna (largest element)). Tennadyne has since re-designed the booms, and the T-6 now uses two rectangular booms. If you're not a big-gun dx'er and just want an antenna that does a very good job from 20-10m with moderate gain and excellent f/b, then the T-6 would be a wise choice. It's also quite reasonably priced, has low wind loading and weight. ....hasan, N0AN wrote in message m... very interesred in obtaining data and pricing on smallest possible 10M thu 20M log periodic antenna...........what have you got? |
