Ch14-17 18El FD-Yagi + 14RR Corner - OPT
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.
