You could also string full size elements on your existing Quad for
17 and 12m, and string a bent dipole for 30m on the spreaders as well. I've
done this... It's just as effective (more effective on 17 and 12m of
course), and VERY CHEAP...Hi!!
You can see mine at http://ireland.iol.ie/~bravo/#top if you're interested.
