So we're talking a 5 element 30MHz bw yagi. I have some really 
well made units by Antenex with part numbers like YNT-4305 but 
that's the 430-450MHz model.  I would think the part number is 
something like YNT-4405 for the 440-470 model. 

Trouble is I just took a look at their Web Site and they were 
bought out by Laird, which means the products have changed a 
bit. At first glance it appears they are no longer using the 
truely wide band folded dipole driven element of the "YNT" models 
and all I see are more traditional driven element designs. 
It's my opinion the bandwidth of the more traditional DE Feeds 
are not as wide (bw) as the earlier folded dipole versions I 
have here.  

But a friend told me that Antenex (note there's also an another 
company with a similar name, but not the company I'm talking about
in this post) is/was happy to make custom antennas so you might 
give them a call after looking at their web site.  Ask them for 
a yagi with a 450 center frequency and a 30MHz band width.  Who 
knows, you might get lucky... 

cheers,
