57” wide, 25” high, 117” deep,

Antenna weight: 6.5 lb. 

 

This seems like a partial redesign to me.  The antenna still goes up to channel 69, but the placement of VHF directors hurts the upper channels some.  Also I get the impression that the corner plane rods are too sparse.

 

This antenna has no useful reception for channel 2-6.  For channels 7-13 it matches the Winegard 7698, but the larger 7698 is much better for UHF.  The UHF part of the HBU44 is 56 inches long.
