What design plans would you use?

Thanks

Are you an Internet only type of person?

The original design was perfected by Steve Powlishen, K1FO, who spent
hundreds of hours optimizing yagi designs on a high powered Hewlett Packard
computer.
He started with some computer optimized designs of Tom Kirby, W1EJ, (SK) who
was using computer software developed at Ohio State University. W1EJ had
came up with many excellent VHF long yagi designs.

The finished K1FO designs were carefully checked out in the real world by
K1FO to ensure accuracy of the design effort. His efforts have produced an
exceptional design with maximum gain very close to the maximum amount
possible, while keeping side lobes, (particularly those of the H-plane) at a
very low level. The net result is broad bandwidth, wide beamwidth, and clean
lobe structure.
Clean H-plane patterns translate to efficient stacking with maximum possible
gain and manageable array side lobes.

The design has been published in MANY printings of the ARRL Handbook.
