UHF H2 (11x12) 2-Bay Bowtie with No Reflector, OPTIMIZED for New UHF Band using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts. Charts show significant improvement of H2 vs either M2 version. Overall Dimensions: 20.0-in H x 21.75-in W
UHF Raw Gain = 7.3 to 10.3 dBi with SWR (300-ohms) under 3.0 (Good). Hi-VHF Raw Gain = 2.4 to 2.8 dBi with SWR (300-ohms) = 12.4 to 6.7 is Excessive.
OPTIMIZED DIMENSIONS: BowLen = 11.0 = Bowtie Whisker Half-Length, ZBowII = 12.0 = Distance between the Centers of the two Bowties, TineSep = 8.0 = Bowtie Tine Separation, FedSep = 1.25 = Separation (in inches) between two FEEDLINE wires.
