I challenge anyone else to use
whatever Yagi Optimizers they have
to come up with a 3 element design
(to keep the size down) with a 180 degree
front lobe, and with an 11dB F/B ratio,
that has a greater than 4.5 dBi in the
front lobe. Plot the H-plane of your
simulation too.


I'll admit that I've not followed this thread and don't intend to
punch any tar babies. But I must ask; what the hell is a "180 degree"
front lobe?
