I'm not taking credit.   This is a minor adjustment of a Cebik design. 
Seems to fit the OP's rqmts, however: no folded-dopole feed, 50 ohm 
matched BW of 156-162 MHz and 5-6 elements.

This looks like a modofied approach to an NBS Yagi-Uda. 
 
Modern Y-U design allows for a higher feedpoint SWR. Matching loss is offset by 
higher gain and better consistency of F/B. If no matching, then a shaped, 
folded dipole is used. Typically a F/B better than 22 dB (sim) is acheived with 
a 10% bandwidth. 
 
The design you discuss sounds more than adequate for this need though, in fact 
most needs.
