My 2 elements 15m and 20m monoband Yagi

I have 3 element monoband yagi for 10m and 20m. The 20m, 3 element yagi have long boom (18feets).  Not easy to put high up my tower, because it's heavy.  So I planned  to built 2 elements 15m and 20m yagi.  So I can compared the performance between 3 element and 2 element yagi.   Very nice, there're not big different  performance between  3 elements and 2 element.  I just put my 2 element 15m yagi 25 feets from the ground and I've worked more than 3000 stations in 4 months.  Got stations from Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and South America (Brazil, Venezuela).  Let see my projects.

    Does this equal a 50 ohm direct feed at 15m?
