Since stacked bowtie antennas have far greater beamwidth and capture area than yagi antennas, they are usually the better choice

While they all "work" , I've found that the channel master 8 bay is still the best on the market and there are several field tests online that confirm that

Ignore all the "gain" figures that you see as they are all GREATLY exaggerated and usually reference a "isotropic" radiator to make their gain figures look higher by 2.14db or more

If you look at gain figures for instance on Winegard Yagi's they were reference to the industry standard "dipole" which produces REAL gain figures that can be trusted
