Vertical Stack FF4 (Free Form 4-Bay Bowtie) with Single Angle Reflector (providing Deep Sidelobe Nulls) analyzed using 4nec2. HVH (Holl_ands Vertical Harness) dimensions were determined using nikiml's Python Optimization Scripts. Each FF4 was assumed to be identical to the OPTIMUM non-stacked version found here: http://imageevent.com/holl_ands/multibay/4bayrefl/uhffreeform4baysnglanglrefldeepsidelobes
UHF Raw Gain = 17.0 to 19.4 to 19.3 dBi, F/B & F/R Min. = 14.1 dB and SWR (300-ohms) under 2.4. Hi-VHF Raw Gain = 12.0 to 11.5 dBi, F/B & F/R Ratio Min. = 12.7 dB and SWR (300-ohms) = 73 to 26 is Excessive.
