Good morning.

The most definitive, real life testing between a 2 element quad and a 2el Yagi 
that I am aware of was done by Wayne Overbeck, N6NB. He used his own quad and 
the smallest, trapped tribander he could find, the TH-2 (might have been a TH-2 
Jr.) He used two, tower trailers and ran them side-by-side in various locations 
and at varying heights. He publically presented his findings and somewhere, I do 
have a copy.



Have a great day & 73,
