UHF 17-Element Yagi with 6 Reflector Rod Corner Reflector, per measurements by tfrlic.
Since the Active Dipole Element is very complex [which I suspect will NOT be accurately modeled using NEC2 engine], for the below 4nec2 Analysis, I replaced it with a much simpler Folded Dipole [adjusting Length for desired SWR under 2.7], with the same rectangular shape that I've used in nearly all of my Yagi Optimizations: https://photobucket.com/gallery/user/tfralic/media/cGF0aDovSU1HXzEyOTQuanBn/?ref= https://photobucket.com/gallery/user/tfralic/media/cGF0aDovSU1HXzEzMDIuanBn/?ref= https://photobucket.com/gallery/user/tfralic/media/cGF0aDovYW50LmpwZw==/?ref=
UHF Raw Gain = 10.3 to 14.8 dBi, F/B & F/R Ratio Minimum = 16.4 dB (GOOD) and SWR under 2.6 (EXCL).
===================================== BOOM CORRECTION CAN BE IGNORED: Back in 2013, I researched various sources to construct a BOOM CORRECTION Spreadsheet (see below). Since the 1/2-in Wide FLAT Directors and 3/8-in Diameter Reflector Rods are attached directly to the 1-in Square Boom, the Measured Dimensions "should" be REDUCED by about 0.25-in when modeled in 4nec2 to account for the absence of the Boom proximity, which is NOT modeled in 4nec2. Since Boom Correction is so small, I have ignored it...which would have moved the Frequency Response Curve higher ever so slightly.
