Cliff, Having suffered from this malady for many years, I simple came to the conclusion that no matter how big your beam is, you can never have a beam too big. I believe this view is held by many, including the ARRL, who publish a Handbook every year with many articles devoted to encouraging you to employ an ever-bigger beam. These article are replete with pictures, of course, leading to an even more widespread condition: beam envy.
