I want to respace the elements, possilbing cutting down as it is
easier than lenghting them, to get the best
1. Beamwith/pattern
2. FB
3. Gain.

I am only going to use them on 2M SSB with a center freq of 144.250

You have to design for one of teh above 3 items. It is not usaully
possiable to have the best of all 3. In most areas there is not enough
activity to worry about the RB or pattern. Just go for the gain.
