Interesting Cecil. Not only does it rely only on position versus
the driven element but they use the term reflector
in the same breath as a parasitic device!
Presumably length is not a factor.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall now we will call you a parasite
depending who is looking at you
Just don't paint your antenna and use plenty of LED's so that
the shiny surfaces will reflect. I give up, there are to many
conflicting definitions.
In my case it would appear that I have one driver, six reflectors and one
parasitic driver, that should be explicit enough.
Thanks everybody for your help

If however a Yagi reflector does actually "reflect" then your scolding
is correctly directed at me.Perhaps we should first look in a dictionary
for the word "reflector"

From the IEEE Dictionary: "reflector element - A parasitic element
located in a direction other than forward of the driven element
of an antenna intended to increase the directivity of the antenna
in the forward direction."

"director element - A parasitic element located forward of the
driven element of an antenna, intended to increase the directivity
of the antenna in the forward direction."

By this definition, a log-periodic has no reflectors and no
directors.
