Barry,
In my opinion there is little possibility that you can improve on the beverages
you already have using a 2 element Yagi for 20, 15 and 10. You will be very
lucky to achieve more than 15 dB of front to rear with a 2 element Yagi on one
of those bands and with a fixed boom length and may not get close to that on
the other two bands regardless of how much gain you give up. And there is not
a lot to give up since you can't get much more than something like 4 dB over a
dipole with a 2 element Yagi.
