What surprises me is that the ST-2 got a good review from (I believe it was) Stereophile. I just did a search of their site, and couldn't find it, so I may be mistaken about it being Stereophile, but I don't think so. Stereophile was one of the two magazines I subscribed to back then, the other being Listener. And I don't believe Listener ever did an antenna review. Tuners, yes, but not antennas.

About twenty years ago I sold my house and moved into an apartment in another state, to (once again!) chase employment. I missed my roof mounted Yagi, which was in storage, and actually considered the ST-2 because of the review. I'm always happy I re-considered, and saved myself the $100. I'd have built Timbo's suggested rhombic, if only I'd known about it back then.
