CM4251 Parabolic + 4-Wire FBmod
UHF Channel Master CM-4251 Parabolic Reflector Antenna with 2-Bay Triangular-Bowtie, minimally modified
with 4 additional wires in middle of Reflector (smaller radius material would be acceptable).
This old Antenna is STILL designed for the OLD UHF Band (470-806 MHz).

Raw Gain was only minimally affected and as expected, there was significant improvement to F/B & F/R Ratios,
but very little if any increase on the lower channels.

This minimal modification illustrates that significant improvement in F/B & F/R Ratios are possible with
minimal increase in wind resistance.  Optimal placement of additional wires should be investigated
to determine whether it is better to add say 2 or 3 more wires above and 2 or 3 more below or
to extend to the sides more...or both.
