UHF 16-El Yagi + 6RR Corner Wade CYD1446
UHF 16-Element Yagi with 6 Reflector Rod Corner Reflector, approximate 4nec2 Model for Wade CYD-1446,
analyzed using 4nec2 Antenna Modeling Program.  Dimensions were provided by Choclab, with some of his photos below.

Two versions are presented below, one without and one WITH the Open Matching Stub Line found directly
behind the Active Dipole Element.  There was no significant difference between the two models.

Results are probably "typical" for it's era [esp. given CONSTRAINTS that ALL Director Lengths and Spacings
are the SAME], but are rather underwhelming compared to more modern OPTIMIZED Yagi's, with
Loss of Gain on Upper Channels [which usually need the MOST Gain], poor F/B & F/R Ratios on Upper Channels
and Excessive SWR on both Lower and Upper Channels.

=============================================================
Note that a simplified ALL TUBULAR 4nec2 Model was used for this APPROXIMATE Analysis,
using NEC2 Engine [instead of more accurate NEC4 Engine to Model the Rectangular Directors].

And rather than TRYING to use limited NEC2 Engine to Model all Surfaces in the Open Matching Stub,
an Idealized Open Transmission Line (TL Statement) was used instead to find the OPTIMUM Length and
Characteristic Impedance.
