This is a hollow challenge in that such designs are already freely
available through EZNEC. Again, the thumb on the scale scenario
offers easy ways to pencil whip these numbers above, given they are
only partial disclosures tricked up for the benefit of marketing to
suckers otherwise inflating their egos as "pirates."


"Hollow challenge"? I don't think you have the
facilities to do this....you're field seems to be
more along the lines of a bad used car saleman!

If someone can come up with a 3 element
yagi (we wanted to keep the size down), with
a 180 degree front lobe, and about 11 dB F/B
ratio, that has a better than 4.5 dBi in the
front lobe, i'd like to see it. Use EZNEC
or whatever simulator you have, and make
an H-plane plot... i'd like to see that.



To that band of would-be broadcasters, it is patently obvious that
our
salesman here has already admitted that no Yagi Optimizer was fully
engaged to optimize the "3 element design." (And there is an

I ain't trying to sell anything here, Dip****.

I'm just informing other people of my results,
take it or leave it.




I will leave it to the more industrious customers or would-be
customers to simply download the free version of EZNEC and confirm
that this clod-hopping 3 element design above would be bettered by a
2
element one. This has already been offered by Allison to no
noticeable intelligent response. I will leave it to those who glom
onto vacuous marketing with the fatal attraction of a moth for a
flame
to skip this exercise.


The only vacuum is in your head, Richard.

Some things never change....
