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.
