[Amps] corona on a quad

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Hi All, since the quad is made with full wavelength loops. the feed point  
can be selected to make the high voltage points midway between corners. That 
 results in no sharp points at the highest voltage locations.

"I doubt  the corners of a quad would act like that as much if at all. 
Likely  someone has some hard test data on this."

As I recall, the quad was  developed as a solution to corona discharge.  
HCJB 
is a broadcast  station in the Andes and the yagis suffered corona 
discharge 
off the  ends.  The quad solved that problem.
