Hi-VHF Dipole-Pair - K6STI's Cir. Pol.
Hi-VHF Crossed Dipole-Pair with Right Hand Circular Polarization analyzed using 4nec2.
Derived from K6STI's VHF Dipole-Pair, found as cirdip3.nec in 4nec2's c:\nec2\models\VHFsimple
sub-directory, as well as here: http://heplx3.phsx.ku.edu/~dzb/antcal/nec-files/circdip3.nec.
Rescaled so that Left Hand Circular (Cross) Polarization is MINIMUM at 90-deg azimuth on 198 MHz.

Provides very good Right Hand Circular Polarization performance, with Left Hand (Cross) Polarization difference
between 6 dB (at band edges) and 20+ dB at 198 MHz.  Gain is between 0.7 dBic (low freqs) and 2.1 dBic at 198 MHz.
SWR (75-ohms) is excellent, under 1.8.

Note that Right Hand Circular Polarization is strongest FORWARD, while Left Hand is strongest to REVERSE,
so VERY CAREFULLY check antenna connections and alignment.

Poor Cross Polarization Loss on high & low Hi-VHF channels and lack of LHCP suppression (Multipath) from REAR.
