Does adding more director elements(same length), and keeping the same spacing between the elements, make more Db gain? What type of Formula do you use to calculate, the length/number of elements to see a benefit? |

You may want to research DL6WU long Yagis. The idea is to develop a taper schedule to practically design long yagis. K1FO and W1EJ also did work along these longs. http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/diy-yagi/index.htm Short Yagis are typically designed by trial and error so it is harder to extend them. Or shorten them.
