[VHFcontesting] Yagi antenna's

[Erich Oetting KI0SK]

You are correct.  Director 4 should be 12 inches long on both the 8 and 
11 element 432 antennas.

I ran the numbers in NEC at one time when I was considering building 
the 11 element 432 antenna.  Ended up making a W4RNL 12 element OWA 
design for 432 instead, using wire and wood much like the WA5VJB 
antennas.
