Alternatively, consider trying the K3LR lazy-vee wire parasitic array
described in 8/94 QST before you spend all that money.  Modeled, it's
within 1 dB of a 4-square with average ground characteristics (NEC-2,
high-accuracy), has virtually the same vertical pattern, and has as good or
better F/B.  In real life, I suspect it may even have more gain, because it
is not dependent on the ground plane for current return.
