If we feed a quad antenna from the bottom, we end up with a horizontal
polarized antenna. My question is about the support structure or the
arrangement of the wire.
Is a BOX (x-frame) better or worse than a DIAMOND (+ frame)?
My guess is that the DIAMOND antenna will shed water better and have an
less likely to have ice issues. But I could also argue the other
way. This is a structural issue.
I'm MORE interested in the PERFORMANCE issue! Do you get a better
horizontal pattern from a BOX or a DIAMOND?
