Great! I would disagree with respect to "any other type of directional array
but I would like a further insight to the mechanics of vector array that
produces
this phenomina. I would like to reproduce this effect else where if I could.

Right..... so what creats it, this "squeezing" that you talk about and
from where does this "squeezing force come from in an "appropiate"array?
That's what I was asking not a discussion of what the Yagi array
produces. Why does the lobe narrow?

Narrowing is the natural result of the vector addition of the separate EM
waves radiated from the individual sources comprising the Yagi (or any
other kind of directional array).
