I am going to try a wire 2 element yagi on 20m.
Which is better, a reflector or director? I have found designs for both. My ARRL classic wire antenna book shows a 30m design with only the director. That would be nice because it uses less wire. |

20m 2-el yagi with Reflector and no diirector 
20m 2-el yagi with Director and no reflector 
I kinda figured that would happen after trying to model some moxons back to back sharing the reflector. the other undriven DE acted as a director and turned them into a really crappy and elaborate dipole. |
