Ch3 4-El FD-Yagi - OPTimized
Ch3 (60-66 MHz) 4-Element Folded Dipole Yagi, Optimized with nikiml's Python Scripts, analyzed using 4nec2.
If using a Metal Boom, be sure to calculate Boom Corrections (see "Yagi Antennas" Intro webpage).

a) AWG12 Copper Wire:
On Ch3, Raw Gain = 8.4 to 9.0 dBi, F/B & F/R Minimum = 10.6 dB and SWR (300-ohms) Under 1.6.
Boom Length = 113.6-in x 96-in Wide.

b) Quarter Inch Copper Tubing (QICT) or Braided-Shield in RG-59 Coax (insulation can be left on).
Braided-Shield in RG-59 Coax (insulation does NOT need to be removed) is equivalent to QICT.
On Ch3, Raw Gain = 8.4 to 8.6 dBi, F/B & F/R Minimum = 10.9 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 1.6.

Note that QICT version is only slightly better than AWG12 version.
Boom Length = 116.8-in x 96-in Wide.
