Where was it proved that RF was passing thru the chassis and not one of many 
possible openings? I asked that question days ago and no one cared to 
answer.

Why doesnt RF pass thru the back of a solid parabolic reflector? Or even 
thru a mesh reflector dependent on the opening size and frequency?

Why does a perfect yagi have infinite F/B?
