Schematic for 1.2 GHz ATV ant
From G3ZJO                                   (new Feb 06 edited G8MNY)

I have great success with the following dimensions which are from an old DOS
yagi design program.

Make the BOOM from double sided PCB 10 - 15mm wide.

Make the elements from brass brazing rod 3mm dia or copper wire.

Make the driven element a folded dipole or use a gamma match.

                    1249MHz    1316MHz
Reflector Length  = 12.20cm    11.57cm
Reflector Spacing =  4.80cm     4.55cm

Driven Element    = 11.40cm    10.81cm

Director1 Spacing =  2.88cm     2.73cm
Director1 Length  = 10.83cm    10.27cm

Dir2      Spacing =  3.34cm     3.17cm
Dir2      Length  = 10.72cm    10.17cm

Dir3      Spacing =  3.88cm     3.68cm
Dir3      Length  = 10.62cm    10.07cm

Dir4      Spacing =  4.50cm     4.26cm
Dir4      Length  = 10.51cm     9.97cm

Dir5      Spacing =  5.22cm     4.95cm
Dir5      Length  = 10.40cm     9.87cm

Dir6      Spacing =  6.05       5.74cm
Dir6      Length  = 10.30cm     9.77cm

Dir7      Spacing =  7.02cm     6.66cm
Dir7      Length  = 10.20cm     9.67cm

Dir8      Spacing =  8.14cm     7.72cm
Dir8      Length  = 10.10cm     9.57cm

Boom Length       = 45.82cm    43.45cm
Gain              = 11.67dBd  11.67dBd
