Well, it's pretty tough to scale things correctly.

The original Quad data came from scaled antennas, and it turns 
out that data had scaling errors that made the quads look better 
than they actually were.

We are all in the same boat. We can scale and model all we want, 
but until we actually build and measure the actual antenna we can 
never be sure how it will really play.

The only thing any of our antennas have to do is make us happy, 
no matter how they really work. Anyway, have fun.
