It will be a 5-band (10-20M), 2-element quad. I bought used the spreaders (used to be a cubex mark2), boom, and s; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00033.html (8,303 bytes)

That antenna uses aluminum welding wire for the elements. Its very strong and won't stretch. You need two spools which cost about $8 each.

It is impossible to work with because takes a permanent set. It is as bad or worse than copperweld because the loop; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00042.html (11,519 bytes)

Normal welding wire for welding ferrous metals will rust and start to disappear in a very short time when used; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00044.html (8,661 bytes)
5. [TowerTalk] Quad Question(s) (score: 1): Author: Paul.Ferguson@pobox.com (Paul Ferguson); Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 09:14:55 -0400; I have installed 2 of the LBolt quads. A tree took the first one down. Here is what is on one of my left over wire spool labels: brand=Natweld Alloy=5356 Size=1/16" Heat=96136 Weight=1 lb.

The wire is an aluminum alloy(something like 5685 alloy I can't recall the exact number) and is very strong. The LB quad u; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00048.html (10,816 bytes)

It does not stretch noticeably (like soft-drawn copper). The original poster exaggerated the difficulty of installation; you just have to avoid kinking it, as you do; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00049.html (8,887 bytes)
8. [TowerTalk] Quad Question(s) (score: 1): Author: tao@skypoint.com (Tod Olson); Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 09:47:44 -0500; I agree with Tom. I had a three band, 4 element quad up 88 feet at my Minnesota QTH for several years. The wire I used was insulated, #12 stranded, copper. At the attachment points on the spreaders I; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00050.html (9,065 bytes)

[TowerTalk] Quad Question(s) (score: 1): Author: W8JI@contesting.com (Tom Rauch); Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 12:27:52 -0400; Hi Vic, Well I guess "strong" or "weak" are subjective terms, and not describing what the problem really is. Let's be serious here, the wire isn't a major part of the cost of the antenna. Why not use; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00055.html (8,880 bytes)

There is (almost) no flexing when antenna is properly strung, with just enough tension to keep the wires from flopping or flexing. In; /archives//html/Towertalk/2001-05/msg00061.html (9,304 bytes)
