I briefly looked at log periodics and one thing that hasn't been discussed here is the mediocre SWR of LPDA's. You're pretty much going to have to use a tuner, and you also have increased feedline loss. Might work for some users, but I'm sticking with my SteppIR antennas (3 of them so far). An LPDA would however, make a good broadband receive antenna for a skimmer, if you want to optimize one direction.
