When one is referring to a directional recieving antenna, where does
the word Yagi come from? Is it the name of the person who invented it,
or is there a different story behind it? Just curious...

A Japanese friend of mine says that "yagi" means "goat" in Japanese. So the
antenna was invented by "Mr. Goat" and the antenna itself is the "goat
antenna."
