70cm+FRS+GMRS 20-El FD-Yagi
20- Element Folded-Dipole Yagi Antenna to cover entire 70-cm (440 MHz) plus FRS and GMRS Frequency Bands (420 thru 468 MHz) analyzed
using 4nec2 after determining best Dimensions using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts.  Since intended for Transmit Operations, Target SWR
is to be Under 1.6, allowing for OTHER SWR degradations when using a Transmitter that might shut down when SWR reaches 2.0.

TWO ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS ARE PRESENTED:

a) Optimized ONLY for Gain and SWR:

420-468 MHz Raw Gain = 15.7 to 17.0 dBi and SWR (200-ohms) Under 1.3.

######################################
b) Optimized for Gain, SWR, Front/Back and Front/Rear Ratios:

can you email me the final NEC file??
I would like to run the simulation on 4nec2.
