Ever hear of the BOW TIE. Its a sort of Fractal antenna. Having a wide

That's interesting. In what way(s) is it improved by making it fractal?
How much is the improvement? Can you point me to a reference about this
which gives some quantitative data?

Hi Rich,

Tacking the new-age term of "fractal" to antenna does not
automatically bring:
1. Widebandedness;
2. Gain;
3. Small size.

The link above fairly confirms it in the fog of offering.

I could expand upon this - but the interest of those who become
suddenly engaged with the topic rarely translates into a meaningful
discussion, and never leads to an actual construction.
