Default need help with H antenna

I need help in building an H type of tracking antenna for use around 166-167
mhz. This is for wildlife tracking. I have a couple of handheld 3 element
Yagi's that I built using YagiCad to do the math, and they work well, but
they are big and clunky.

There are times when I am willing to sacrifice the good f/b ratio of the
yagi for convienience, for instance when working in brushy woods. I have
used an H for tracking at 151 mhz, but of course, I can't use that one for
166.

My tracking receiver, a King portable, has a BNC connector, so I can
interchange antennas quickly.

Is there a web page or magazine article that can help me design my H, or can
someone share their experience?

Thanks
Jim
