Hi-VHF Goalkeeper Quad-Trapezoid+Spurs
Hi-VHF Goalkeeper, a Quasi-Omni [accidental] variation of the Quad-Trapezoid+Spurs
was analyzed using 4nec2, assuming QICT (Quarter-Inch Copper Tubing) for the Elements.

Hi-VHF Raw Gain = 2.1 to 2.9 dBi  (Forward & Rear) and SWR (300-ohms) under 1.8 (Excellent).
Beamwidth = 100-110 degrees.  [For QICT, could substitute AWG10 with higher SWR.]

Provides Bi-Directional Pattern firmly aligned along the X-Axis with wide Beamwidth
and NULLs to the sides.  Although Horizontally Polarized, it also provides both
Right-Hand and Left-Hand Circular Polarization, but with only 1 dB LHCP suppression.
