I had a corner reflector on my very first UHF ham repeater for a while. No
problems with duplex operation or anything. The pattern was pretty much as you
see in the catalogs. The front to back ratio was remarkable. After a while, I
got some more money and changed it out.

Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] antenna plan
Hopefully it is not uncool to be the first to respond to one's own post. I'll
take the fact that there was no flood of flames, or naysayers, to indicate that
my plan is worth attempting.
So as a follow-up question, I would ask, could anyone offer recommendations for
a yagi, corner reflector, or other directional antenna, suitable for duplex
use,
with a beamwidth of no less than 30deg and a gain of no less than say 7dB?
