Default Looking for UHF only TV Antenna

I've got an older rat shack corner reflector yagi/log thang that
is fairly decent. But I don't know if they sell them anymore..
It's the same basic antenna as the UHF section that you would
get if you bought the big UHF/VHF antenna.
The one I have has a corner reflector with 10 total elements.
Then it has the driven element, and about 14-15 director
elements that are all the same length. I used to to
receive the local UHF ATV machine. It was great for dx though
when the band opens up with ducting in the summer. I'd
watch stations all over the place from Houston. IE: San Antonio,
Austin, Corpus, Little Rock, West memphis , etc..
The ducting on UHF is actually even hotter than it is on VHF
most of the time. If 2 meters opens up, check UHF TV...
Half the time it will be wide open. The antenna I have would
eat the average bowtie for lunch. But like I say, they may
have quit selling them.
