   Howdy! Tom and Roy,   
      
   Looking at my TV Antenna in some old photos using Irfanview,   
   and then holding a CTRL key down and spinning the mouse wheel to   
   Zoom In I don't see any Crossing of the wires along side of the   
   boom, as it would be if it was a Log Periodic Antenna (LPA).   
      
   Those wires run parallel to the boom so that makes the Wineguard   
   TV antenna a Yagi.   
      
   When My old Boss moved and asked me if I wanted to buy his TV antenna   
   I couldn't even use it when I lived out in the country, but here in   
   the 'BIG City' when I decided to put it up with some Mast sections   
   I got from Radio Shack, I went to a Electronic Parts Store and got   
   the Adapter to put on the antenna so I could use RG-6(?) coax instead   
   of using 300 Ohm Twin Lead that the Adapter had on the antenna when   
   I bought it from my Boss.   
      
   I KNEW when he asked me if I wanted the antenna THAT Wineguard had   
   all kinds of accessories for their antennas, PLUS I didn't like the   
   looks of the other tv antenna makers antennas.   
      
   Those other antennas might have been LPA's and I didn't know it,   
   but I KNEW WHAT A YAGI WAS!, and I WANTED ONE OF THOSE Wineguard   
   antennas if I ever was to buy one for myself.       
      
   I'm satisfied and that's all that counts.   
      
   The TV Coax lead in is connected to a Radio Shack Amplifier that has   
   four outputs, so I have my two VCR's and the FM Tuner on a Hi-Fi   
   connected to it, the fourth output has the Resistor on it.
