Unfortunately, having gone this far, I want to experiment with some intelligence, which leads me to modeling, which leads me back to the computer.

Yeah, I modeled the Koch curve fractal bowtie here about a year ago, but cant find the post right now.
Unfortunately, the intrinsic bowtie design/shape doesnt really benefit all that well from fractalization. (other than making it a work of art like yours is) If you replace the fractalized bowties you now have with straight elements with the same shorter length (and maybe the same width of the fractal portion or make the bowtie solid), the response curve and gain is going to be very very similar, ie better for the higher channels.
The GH design responds much better to fractalization. (better meaning closer to the unfractalized version. With fractals, there is always loss versus the unfractalized version of the same antenna. Unfractalize a cell phone antenna and youll have something really powerful, heh.) Look at Firimanis GH fractal models in the first few pages of Area 51.
