KK4OBI Bent Dipoles


This is the 4NEC2 antenna standard model for: Bow Tie Dipoles

To use this model:
4NEC2 is an NEC2, NEC4, Windows based antenna modeler and optimizer by Arie Voors.
It is available free of charge at: www.qsl.net/4nec2/


CM Standard Bow Tie Model generalized for optimization.
CM Half-wave feed point elevation over "Real Ground".
CM AWG #14.  Validated by Avg Gain Test.
CM 9-wire design using gap wire and two wires on each end.
CM Auto-seg needs enough segments/halfwave to get at least 3 segs on gap wire
CM Includes imbedded summary calcs.
