I tried doing some research and couldnt come up with an answer. I have received conflicting information about how a Yagi works. I know they are directional antenna's but in which direction?
Is it where the tip of the antenna is pointing? If the antenna is pointing to the east and the radials are pointing north and south, is my reception going to be strong to the north and south or to the east, in the direction that the antenna is pointing?
I always thought it was the direction that the antenna was pointing (east in example) but a friend of mine swears that his signal is strongest to the north and south in which the direction the radials point. Do some Yagi's work differently? Someone please help clear the air.
