Hi-VHF+UHF "VEE" Folded Dipole
Hi-VHF+UHF "VEE" Folded Dipole analyzed using 4nec2.  Optimized dimensions determined
using nikiml's Python Scripts.

Note that Forward Sweep enhances performance in the UHF Band (third harmonic of Hi-VHF),
although SWR is a bit high for lowest and highest channels.

UHF Raw Gain = 5.1 to 6.7 to 4.8 dBi,
F/B = 8.1 to 2.2 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 4.8.
Hi-VHF Raw Gain = 1.9 dBi and F/B & F/R = 0.2 to 0.4 and SWR (300-ohms) under 2.2.
Ch2-FM Raw Gain = 0.7 to 1.6 dBi and SWR (300-ohms) 1400-52 is Excessive.
