Actually, 7 bands if you add 6 meter loops. Lightning Bolt Quads offers an
add-on 6 meter kit. I put one on mine, and it works fine.

That's how GEM quad tells you to do it. You first pound a small
diameter pipe in the ground,put the boom over it and position boom and
the spiders with a hose clamps.
You then align the quad loops and tighen up the hardware.
Easy!
After you get it up, you can attach a rotatable 40M dipole to the same
mast about 1' above the quad boom and parallel to it. No interaction.
6 bands one rotor. Not bad. Pretty small turning radius.
