Perhaps earlier, but basically the same. Bow-ties are simpler/cheeper to make because they are simply flat sheet metal instead of round cones. All the same idea-- to make the antenna elements (in this case a simple dipole) fatter and therefore more broadband. TV channels being 6 mc wide need such. Laryn K8TVZ
