Well, this may be more bold than your considering, but I'm currently 
building a Moxon beam for 40 meters on a 15 foot boom, will use 35 - 40 foot 
DE/REF elements, with large coils at mid-element points, I have up on 20 
meters and the F/B just can't be touched by a 2 element Yagi, typically 
35dB, and considerably smaller than a full size 40 meter yagi.

Good luck,

73, Tim
