I worked this out in the early 90's from a database of over 100 of the
best practical, buildable VHF/UHF yagi designs. Thanks especially to K1FO
for all of his design work. His 432 yagis had the greatest effect on the
numbers. W1JR thinks it's accurate, so who am I to argue?

I like the K1FO designs. I had a 432 antenna by Rutland Arays that seemed
to be a copy of the K1FO design. Several years ago I put up some new
antennas and wanted to go withthe Rutland, but he had passed away and went
with the M-Square antennas for 2 meters and 432 mhz.

From what I read, the Trigonal reflector was something that looked good for
sells, but did little or nothing for that antenna.
