UHF Quadazoid Loop + Reflector
UHF Quadazoid Loop with Reflector analyzed using 4nec2 after determining "best"
Dimensions using nikiml's Python Optimizer Scripts.

Note that OPTimized Dimensions WITH Reflector are somewhat DIFFERENT than without.
Two different Reflector Types were analyzed:

#######################################
a) Screen Grid Reflector = 24"H x 16"W with Grid = 2"H x 4"W.

UHF Raw Gain = 9.8 to 10.4 to 9.8 dBi, F/B & F/R Gain Min. = 14.1 dB
and SWR (300-ohms) Under 1.3...with Beamwidth = 71 to 67-deg, decreasing with Freq.
So performance is very comparable to A-D C2.

#######################################
b) 11 Reflector Rods:

UHF Raw Gain = 10.0 to 11.0 to 10.2 dBi, F/B & F/R Gain Min. = 18.0 dB
and SWR (300-ohms) Under 2.2...with Beamwidth = 66 to 56-deg, decreasing with Freq..
Higher Gain is likely due to significantly Wider Reflector.
