If i build a yagi 800mhz antenna for 800mhz even, how far will it receive +/- the 800mhz even frequency? also it has reflector, drive element, and 9 directors

there are too many variables to answer that specifically.
It depends on antenna height, location to adjacent objects, if the trees have leaves on them or not, what the weather conditions are, what coax you use.

A typical beam will get you around 150 miles in my neck of the woods, on top of mountains in Tennessee, but if you live in the plains, that could be much less, as little as 30 miles.

Do you have a plan for this antenna? If so, I am interested. Can you make it available? Thanks,
John
