Hi, I recently purchased and put up a Cushcraft ASL2010 Log Periodic Antenna. I questioned the element lengths with Cushcraft and was informed to use the assembeled element lengths instead of the individual element measurements. One set of measurements conflicted with the individual element lengths. The front to back ratio is very poor, and my G5RV dipole has better gain on frequencies 20 meters thru 10 when I aim the beam in the same azmith direction. I've used several methods to determine resonance on the HF (20 thru 10 meters) for this beam and they don't land anywhere near the advertised data provided by Cushcraft. Has anyone else had any better luck with the ASL2010 Log Periodic?
