2m 4-element Quad you can build

A four element quad for 2 metres which is supposedly equal to a Cushcraft 11 element beam antenna.

The antenna boom is made out of pvc pipe, 1"size, which is 1.5" in diameter, actual size. The boom is approximately 42" long. The cross pieces are 1/4 inch bicycle flag poles made out of fiberglass, or you could use fiberglass fence posts.

TOP VIEW LOOKING DOWN

YOU FEED A QUAD FROM THE HORIZONTAL SPREADER END.

I would be interested in reports from anyone who builds this antenna. Good luck and I will look forward to your comments.
