[Antennas] VSWR on Log Periodic.

[George, W5YR]

Dave, the SWR array is impressive, but how do relate this characteristic of
the antenna to the various aspects of its performance? The low and
reasonably constant SWR translates into convenience is using the antenna
over a number of bands, but does it predict or relate to  any particularly
beneficial performance attributes? 

Not trying to yank your chain, because this is interesting data, but I am
trying to understand your emphasis on this aspect of the antenna system.
What should we read into this data?
