UHF Vertical 8-Bay Dipoles + 43RR
UHF Vertical 8-Bay Dipole Array with 43 Reflector Rods analyzed using 4nec2 after Dimensions
determined using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts.

UHF Raw Gain = 13.5 to 17.0 to 15.1 dBi, F/B & F/R Ratio Min = 18.3 dB and SWR (300-ohms)
under 2.4.  Crossover details must be exactly copied to maintain pattern symmetry.

ASSUMED DIMENSIONS (in inches):
Rdip=0.4375 = Radius of Dipole Elements (7/8-in O.D.)
Rfeed=0.06425 = Radius of Feedlines (AWG8)
Rrod=0.1875 = Radius of Reflector Rods (3/8-in O.D.)
Hop=1.0 = X-Axis Separation at the Cross-Over
Cond=2e+07 = Conductivity for Aluminum
DSwp=0 = Dipole Forward Sweep (NOT USED IN THIS MODEL]

OPTIMIZED DIMENSIONS  (in inches, rounded to nearest 1/8-in):
DDSep=9.37 = Dipole-To-Dipole Separation
DLen=6.65 = Dipole Half-Length (JUST THE TUBE)
FeedSep=2.5 = Separation between two FEEDLINE wires
ZCross=1.39 = From Center of Feedline Cross-Over to Center of OUTER Dipoles
RS=4.16 = Reflector Rod Separation behind Dipoles
RR=1.74 = Reflector Rod-to-Rod Separation
YRod=18.20 = Reflector Rod Half-Lengths
