[SixClub] more antenna questions

[Richard J. Fiero II W5TFW]

True,  but do you just run SSB ?  my cushcraft is freq  held, it doesn't 
like running the entire length of the 4 MHz 6 meter band. I like cw and psk 
and a few other things. so I run one.  I also fun a KLM log that's good for 
10 to 40 mts.  Maybe I am stuck on log antennas????

I've never used a Log Periodic antenna.  Although I, early on, was 
interested in them I determined that for the same boom length a Yagi has so 
much more gain.  The KMA 4113 shows to have 6.5 dBI gain which is about 3.5 
dBd gain on a 12 foot boom.  This is noticibly less gain than a M2 6m3 3 
elements on a 6 foot boom and even a little less gain than a Moxon for 6 
meters.  Also 3 lightweight yagi's for 6 meters, 2 meters and 432 mhz, all 
with much more gain wouldn't occupy any more space, except stacking 
distance, on the mast.  I don't run quads but I'm pretty sure their gain 
figures would put them ahead of the LPDA also.
