The pattern is freespace-simulation without
       the H-frame at a stacking distance
                 of 1 wl in both planes.

Besides my own opinion that the G/T is only the half truth this are the datas regarding to the VE7BQH charts:
Note in contrast to the most antennas of VE7BQH charts the datas are only a little bit shifting on a bandwith of more than 2 MHz.
Here you can see, what can happen with gain-pimped or overpimped yagies for 144MHz with just water on it...imagine what will
happen with snow and ice...

                      My 4 x 8 element     
This antenna was in use from 2007 to 2010
in JO61WB and JO60UX with good results.

I understacked the antennas to avoid noise and TVI.

Testing the H-frame at home in the garden in summer 2006.
