I think 160m to 2m is asking a little much from a fractal patch antenna.
But from 20m to 2m should be within the ballpark of a dedicated antenna
designer. I don't think there is enough space on the rig for those lower
bands. But some of the grad students at the U of New Mexico were working
on just such things during my time there. My advisor was the one leading
that research. Professor Christos Christodoulou. Lots of interesting
design notes in his CV.
73 and GL on that fractal patch design!
