Greetings Lisa!   
      
    TW>>> It is not the Boom that makes it a Log Periodic. IT is the Director   
    TW>>> elements.   
      
    RW>>> No, the boom is like a folded antenna with shortened radials; the   
    RW>>> twin boom is actually one boom, but the radials are stepped, one on   
    RW>>> one side, the next on the other side, etc..   
      
    HG>> Roy, you are confusing the issue. While Tom is correctly writing   
    HG>> about director lengths you are suddenly writing about radials.   
      
    LFT> A director leads an orchestra when playing music.   
      
   8^) Cute. If you don't specify what you're talking about, one can wonder   
   about such words in use today. The same with the word used to designate   
   the rear radial in an antenna, known to some as a reflector. i.e. We all   
   know that a mirror reflects an image.   
      
    LFT> Radials are those "elements" that are excited when radiating RF. The   
    LFT> only thing confusing about this are the molecs who're heating up   
      
                                                 ^^^^^^   
   I presume that you meant to say molecules?   
      
    LFT> those radials because of their activity.   
      
   I know that some people 'beat-around-the-bush' when they're talking.   
      
    LFT> Have a nice Day!  Lisa   
      
   Glad to see that you've finally made it to Fidonet.
