UHF CM4221a.ez.nec Flat Bows & Reflector
Channel Master CM4221 4-Bay (7.8x8.0) Bowtie (Ken Nist's cm4221a.ez file) with Screen Reflector analyzed using 4nec2.

It appears that Ken Nist simply took HALF of the CM4228a.ez file, as evidenced by the off-set axis.
BowLength = 7.8-in, Bowtie Spacing = 8-in, Tine Separation = 5.5-in.
Feedline Separation = 1.25-in, with 0.8-in at Crossover.
Center of Crossovers 4.0-in from Center of Outer Bowties.
Screen Reflector (36"H x 20"W).  Separation from Bowties = 4.5-in.

FWIW: Measurements on an ACTUAL CM4221 antenna were somewhat different.
