[TowerTalk] Re: Quad vs. yagi

[Mark .]

Just to show that I am not biased against quads - quite the contrary.
I like to participate in RF foxhunts with the local club on VHF frequencies. 
All the leading hunters are convinced that the quads have it all over the 
yagis when it comes to collecting the initial bearings on the fox. We are 
all using an electrical plan very similar to the one I have posted at:  
http://www.qsl.net/n1lo/4elquad.pdf

The front-to-back and front-to-side ratios of this 4 element plan are 
terrific. I have had a LOT of fun with this, and I also have a scaled-down, 
1/3 size quad for hunting the 3rd harmonic signal when I get closer to the 
fox. Great fun!

I'd love to try one scaled up to 10m some day.
