I happen to agree strongly with this.  The ideal antenna for Class A  
stations seems to be three half-wave spaced bays.  If power is no  
issue, two.

One really big main lobe, with no nulls and no minor lobes is best for  
coverage.

For a Class C, it is just too expensive to try, but power is  
everything, so the nulls don't matter as much.
