Ch14-17 18-Element Folded Dipole Yagi with Corner Reflector (14 Reflector Rods) analyzed using 4nec2. Dimensions (see 4nec2 File) determined using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts.
Boom Length = 111in was intentionally constrained by an non-linear exponential term in the Python Optimization Script's Target Function. Without this constraint an excessively long 146-in Boom Length provided only another 0.3 dB of Gain (not shown).
On Ch14 Raw Gain = 17.2 dBi, F/B & F/R Ratio = 25.0 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 1.1. Note the small DEGRADATION compared to using only 10 RR for SAME Boom Length & 18-Elements. Note that additional Directors DEGRADED Gain vs Ch14-17 15El FD Yagi + 14RR Corner.
