 One of these rods is the vertical driven rod, and one is the horizontal driven rod.The third rod is what would be the other half of a regular dipole and points downward 120 degrees from vertical on the opposite side of the support pole from the downward-pointing driven rod.The other elements are parasitic radiators like those of a Yagi except consisting of inverted "Y"s.

Like the Yagi, the Gizmotchy is a directional antenna with a forward gain of approximately 12 dBi and a front-to-back ratio of 28 dB.
