Art,
Think again about what you wrote.
"I have oft times changed a single element into two closely coupled
elements and where one is short and one is long relative to a driven
element."
Why would you mis-attribute your application of standard terminology
to
a new experimental situation as a "poor translation"?
The appropriate terminology for the various elements is generally
pretty
clear from the physical design and performance of a Yagi antenna.
When
your experiments go beyond the original design you are on your own.

Seems to me Cecil that the terms "Reflector" and
"Director" are very poor words to describe antenna
elements for an HF array .

I wonder who was the first to assign these terms
Or was it a poor translation from Japanese ( Uda and Yagi) ?
