Depends on the polarization of the signal you are trying to listen to. If the Transmitting antenna is vertically polarized then the yagi elements should be vertical, if the transmitting antenna is horizontally polarized then the yagi elements should be horizontal.

Laird is a fairly new entrant into the antenna world, been around 7 or 8 years. Their web site link shown here can probably lead you to some more specific technical details. Looks to be just a normal yagi for UHF frequencies.

Laird goes back about 12 years but they own the Cushcraft, Antenex, Centurion and other antenna brands that date back quite a few years. Laird has sold more than a billion antennas so there not a small company.

The answer to your question is "probably" vertically.

Nope, not correct. Cushcraft is owned by my good friend Martin J. Jue of Starkville, MS. He purchased the company a few years ago from the founder about the same time he bought Hy Gain antennas.

Martin is the CEO of MFJ Enterprises which is a privately owned company and doesn't release sales figures.

Might want to catch up on old times with your good friend.

ROFL. Perhaps not. I knew the date on the PR, but I figured I'd post it anyway. I had done a quick Google search for "laird cushcraft". Probably should have included a search for "MFJ Cushcraft", which would have yielded the PR at cushcraftamateur.com.

After having revisited cushcraftamateur.com, I then realized that I had seen that 2009 PR quite a while ago while checking specs on a yagi.

Of course I know you're perfect

Sorry to Lep.

Actually I had drinks/dinner with him about 3 weeks ago but the status of Cushcraft didn't come up in our conversation. I don't expect to see him again until near the end of the Summer but I am making a mental note to ask him about it then. I have known Martin for 30 years, a classmate of mine in EE school became Martin's thesis advisor when he was a graduate student in EE himself. It's a small world sometimes.
