Hi, Jeff;
 
 JE> The thing is, if the driven element is cut to frequency and used as a
 JE> director, how long are the driven elements, and the reflector?
 
 JE> In a Yagi configuration, not all the driven elements are the same
 JE> length, but  they -are- smaller than the driven element.
 
Excuse me?  I think you have a typo there... The DRIVEN element(s) is/are
the one(s) which are electrically connected to the radio equipment.  The
element(s) in the desired direction of the main lobe is/are shorter than
the driven element(s) and are called director(s), and the one(s) on the
opposite side are longer than the driven element(s), and is/are
reflector(s). (I made that as inclusive of all types of antennas as
possible).
 
Sorry, Jeff, I'm NOT trying to shoot you down here!
 
 JE> The reflector(s) is(are) normally larger than the driven element.
 
Longer, yes.  (Usually the same diameter).   :-}
