At my web site, therre are notes that update even the recent 10-10 News
column on stacked EDZs, and I have just added a bit more information on a
very narrow beamwidth co-linear array. How narrow is narrow? 16 degrees
between -3 dB points. A Yagi goes from 50 to 60 degrees depending on the
number of elements. Credit for the antenna goes to W2NB or his sources
back in the late 1930s. Amazing what you can do with wire.
