A-D Old DB-4 4-Bay Bowtie with Reflector
Antennas Direct (Old ) DB-4 4-Bay Bowtie with Reflector analyzed using 4nec2.
Dimensions per mclapp's 4nec2 file with holl_ands modifications to adjust AGT=1 and various FR & RP statements:
http://www.frontiernet.net/~mclapp/Antennas/Computer%20Models/

Whisker Length=6.17-in, BowInner-Inner=7.85-in, BowInner-Outer=7.9-in, Tine Separation=1.2-in,
Feedline Separation=1.8-in, Hop=1.0-in.  Two Reflectors: 12.7"x18.9" at Reflector-to-Bowtie Separation=4-in.

Raw Gain falls off on lowest frequencies.  High SWR on low and mid frequencies.

NOTE: d510d180's parameterized 4nec2 model for the DB-4 can be found here (using variable SYmbols):
