My yagis worked fine too, until I spent a lot of time computer
modeling them over my terrain.  I found better configurations
which provided more wave angle coverage and better stacking
patterns and gain.  They worked fine before.
Fortunately I did not rely on the "they work fine" concept of
antenna design.  I knew they could work better and
as a result of my modeling and hard work, my yagis work much better now!

Your comments are just too vague and subjective.  "My yagis work much better 
now!"  Much better than what?  Over what paths?  Better gain?  Better 
bandwidth?  Better performance per dollar or just better absolute performance?  Better 
suvivability?  C'mon Bob, let us in on the details!
