[TowerTalk] quad ant

[Brown, James E LRDOR]

Actually, 7 bands if you add 6 meter loops.  Lightning Bolt Quads offers an
add-on 6 meter kit.  I put one on mine, and it works fine.

That's how GEM quad tells you to do it.  You first pound a small
diameter pipe in the ground,put the boom over it and position boom and
the spiders with a hose clamps. 

You then align the quad loops and tighen up the hardware.

Easy!

After you get it up, you can attach a rotatable 40M dipole to the same
mast about 1' above the quad boom and parallel to it.  No interaction. 

6 bands one rotor.  Not bad.  Pretty small turning radius.
