I have long wondered why the reflector on a yagi is longer than the driven
element and why the directors are shorter.  Also why do multiple directors
increase the gain but multiple reflectors do not? I suspect it has something
to do with the geometry and transit time but its only my WAG.  Hopefully
"several technically will-versed people" will enlighten us!
