Ch14-17 18El FD-Yagi + 10RR Corner - OPT
Ch14-17 18-Element Folded Dipole Yagi with (10 Reflector Rod) Corner Reflector analyzed
using 4nec2.  Dimensions (see 4nec2 File) determined using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts.

Boom Length = 112in was intentionally constrained by an non-linear exponential term
in the Python Optimization Script's Target Function.  Without this constraint an
excessively long 140-in Boom Length provided only another 0.5 dB of Gain (not shown).

On Ch14 Raw Gain = 17.4 dBi, F/R & F/B Ratio under 33.0 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 1.1.
Note that additional Directors DEGRADED Gain vs Ch14-17 15El FD Yagi + 14RR Corner.
