Hi-VHF+UHF Stick Dipole - No Reflector
Hi-VHF+UHF Stick Dipole (NO Reflector) analyzed using 4nec2.

Two versions were analyzed:
a) Optimized for Hi-VHF Band,
b) Jointly Optimized for Hi-VHF & UHF Bands, using nikiml's Optimization Python Scripts.

###############################################
a) Optimized for Hi-VHF Band: Overall Length = 28.2-inches, 1/2-in Copper Tubing.
VERY POOR for UHF Band:

Hi-VHF Raw Gain = 1.8 to 2.0 dBi and SWR (75-ohms) Under 2.8.  SWR (300-ohms) = 5.3 to 2.5.

UHF Raw Gain = 4.5 dB at 470 MHz, rolling off to below 0 dBi higher than 570 MHz and
SWR (75-ohms) Excessive except Under 2.7 for 555 to 625 MHz.
UHF SWR (300-ohms) about 6 at 470 MHz, decreasing to below 2.7 at 590 MHz and above,
where there is only negative Raw Gain.

###############################################
b) Jointly Optimized for Hi-VHF and UHF Bands: Length = 25.6-inches, 1/2-in Copper Tubing.
VERY POOR for UHF Band.

Hi-VHF Raw Gain = 2.0 to 2.2 dBi and SWR (75-ohms) = 4.9 to 1.4, excessive on lower channels,
while SWR (300-ohms) = 8.0 to 3.5 is even worse.

UHF Raw Gain = 4-5 dBi in lower UHF Band and then rolls off above about 580 MHz,
SWR (75-ohms) Excessive, except under 2.7 from 605 to 698 MHz, where there is only negative Raw Gain.
SWR (300-ohms) Excessive, except under 2.7 from 655 to 698 MHz, where there is only negative Raw Gain.
