UHF 91XG - Taller Corner Reflector
UHF Antennas Direct 91XG modified for TALLER Corner Reflectors analyzed using 4nec2.

Investigations revealed that Ken Nist's model for the Corner Reflector was preventing
Python Optimization Scripts from running correctly.  To greatly reduce the number of
Wires added to the RevF model, I decided to replace the Corner Reflector with a
20 Reflector Rods "equivalent".  An all Reflector Rod replacement would also keep
wind resistance to a minimum, an important consideration with a much larger "Wind Vane".

THREE versions were analyzed, with only MINOR (0.4 & 0.7 dB) Raw Gain improvements:

a) 91XG RevF version with Ken Nist's Corner Reflector replaced by 20 Reflector Rods
to verify that results are in general agreement.

UHF Raw Gain = 11.2 dBi (470 MHz) to 16.6 dBi (698 MHz),
F/R Ratio Minimum = 24.2 dB and SWR under 2.3.

b) 91XG RevF version with 6 Reflector Rods added with roughly same separation
as originals along a +/- 48-degree line.

UHF Raw Gain = 11.6 dBi (470 MHz) to 16.7 dBi (698 MHz),
F/R Ratio Minimum = 24.5 dB and SWR under 2.3.

c) 91XG RevF version with 12 Reflector Rods added.

UHF Raw Gain = 11.9 dBi (470 MHz) to 16.8 dBi (698 MHz),
F/R Ratio Minimum = 25.8 dB and SWR under 2.3.
