When I modeled a 2L Yagi, I played with the reflector dimensions
to see where it would become 'invisible'.
Basically, any conductor Less Than 0.25 WL at the frequency of
interest is nearly invisible to a dipole driven element at 0.15 WL
spacing. Therefore ANY element tuned for 20M and above will
be nearly invisible to a 40M beam.
Note that 20M elements attached to a 24 ft boom end load that boom
to a resonant frequency around 7.5 MHz so the BOOM may couple to
40M elements IF the boom is parallel to the 40M elements.
