[TowerTalk] Director vs reflector

[Tim Kass]

Better F/B with a Reflector/Driven Element set up...the extra gain you will probably never hear it...but the F/B is important to me...that's why I converted my 2 element 20 meter yagi to a Moxon...good luck

> With a 2 element beam, you have the option of the parasitic element being either a director or a reflector. Is there a reason why all commercial 2 element beams use a reflector? I seem to recall from the ARRL antenna book that you can get slightly more gain out of using a director instead, and it seems that the director would be cheapter to produce than the reflector since it uses less materials.
