M4 (9.5x9.0)+DAR Flat v Swept Bows
All AWG10 mclapp M4 4-Bay (9.5x9.0) with FLAT vs SWEPT Bowties and Double Angled Reflector analyzed to determine
Optimum Forward Sweep (BowSwp=1.0-in), presuming the use of AWG10 for ALL elements and feedlines.

mclapp's M4 (9-5x9) Super-4-Bay Bowtie, with Angled Reflector, optimized for New UHF Band (Ch14-51):

BowLength = 9.5-in, Inner-Inner Bowtie Spacing = 9.0-in, Inner-Outer Bowtie Spacing = 9.0,
Tine Separation = 5.5-in, Feedline Separation = 1.25-in, with 1.0-in at Crossover.

Double Angled Screen Reflector, 16-Gauge, 40"Hx36"W, with outer 10-in bent forward, Grid = 1"H x 2"W.
Separation of Reflector from Bowties=4.5-in (at centerline).

Gain and SWR are Good for entire New UHF Band, with only moderate reduction for Old Band (Ch52-69).
Optimum Bow Sweep is about 1-in.


Hi-VHF Ch7-8 has moderate Net Gain loss due to increasing SWR, which becomes excessive on Ch9-13.

Although there is minimal Raw Gain on Ch6 and FM Band, SWR is extremely high.
