Default Yagi Antenna

Gents,
Bit of a "ring in" question here but I cant think of
anywhere/anyone else who may know. I,ve put up a yagi TV antenna with from
memory about 19 elements plus reflector. It seems to be too directional so I
can get one signal source perfectly and one poorly because they are in
slightly different directions. Question is, if I remove some of the
elements ( the way the thing is made I can unscrew the front seven or so)
will that make the antenna less directional?. Or if not, is it able to be
done?
Cheers

YUP.... the directivity is related to the number of director elements
and also their spacing. You may effect the gain as well? So, if the
gain is an issue you may wind up defeating your plans. Worth a try
though, since your not hurting the antenna. Good Luck
