Hi-VHF Bowties - No Reflector
Hi-VHF Four-Whisker, Six-Whisker, Enclosed and Indented Bowties analyzed using 4nec2.
Performance on Ch2-6 + FMBand was also analyzed.  They continue to operate as bi-directional Dipoles with low Gain and much higher SWR on the lower channels.

Six-Whisker Bowtie had better Raw Gain than Four-Whisker and much better SWR than either Four-Whisker, Enclosed or Indented Bowties.
Tine Separation is between upper and lower times.

Raw Gain and Azimuthal Gain Patterns were significantly worse for Enclosed and Indented Bowties.
