Yagi antenna are great for highly directional transmit/receive. I.E. if
you placed a yagi/flarm antenna pointing forward, the signal in any

Not a good choice for a signal you want to send/receive in all
directions.

Of course. I know that: re-read the last few posts on the thread.

I was asking if anybody had experience with using nylon-coated steel
fishing trace for bottom-fed 1/4 wave FLARM dipoles. Its so thin you'd
soon cease to notice antennas made of it mounted on top of your glare
shield.

For 'dipole' read 'antenna'. Sorry 'bout that.
