Default 2 Meter Beam Element Question

Tam's totaly correct in that. I tried it, only to find that a three
elemnt yagi performs a whole lot less than a silly J-Pole does on 2
meters. That, and your modulation drops out the bottom for some reason
too. 5 elements or more. Fewer elements is just a wast of your time,
effort, and money.
Also, a cheap TeeVee rotor will work very well on such a small yagi
like that!

Which is more practical?
Driven element with two directors or reflector, driven element,
director.

Neither one is worth building at 2 meters. A 5 element beam with a
reflector, driven element. and 3 directors could be built on a 4 - 5 foot
boom.
