Glad you solved the problem. Yes, RF is weird stuff.
You mentioned that you have a multi-band log periodic antenna. Is it home brew or commercially made?
Sounds interesting.

I had several unsuccessful tries at home brewing an LPY and decided to by the Create CLP-5130-1N from DX Engineering. It was quite expensive even when the Aussie dollar was high, but excellent quality. Assembly is a bit tricky but no extra tuning was required.
Obviously it only has a few elements on each band and cannot be compared with band specific yagis but I like the convenience it brings. Have worked into JA, KH6 and all over VK and ZL on 6m and some interstate Dx on 2m. It is also very good on the air bands which is another interest of mine. Just got my 23cm transverter to work so I will see how it goes on that band.
