[TowerTalk] quads

[Tom Rauch]

Ohh Ohh.

Let's all remember just because an antenna doesn't set the world 
on fire it or live up to greatly exaggerated expectations it doesn't 
mean it is "crummy"!

Even if it did, "crummy" antennas have there place if there is 
something about them you like.

You shouldn't see any difference, unless one of the antennas in 
isn't working up to what it should. There is virtually no difference 
between a quad and a yagi, if each are the same height and 
length...and are tuned properly. The biggest difference is in 
mechanical considerations, and the emotions of quad or yagi lovers!
