A couple of weeks ago I inquired about quagis. I have some results to
share.
Two identical loops were suspended from the tower at around 170 feet with
their bases around 60-70 feet (diamond pattern) and fed with 1/4 wave 75 ohm
match. The common reflector was a inv Vee at around 115 feet with about a
15 degree spread between the legs. Result, a 2 el quad facing NW and 2
el facing SE. SWR at the design freq is almost 1:1 with the MFJ...freq is
3775. Front to back is around 15dB. Apparently you CAN use a wire as the
reflector of a quad driven loop.
Thanks to all for the suggestions.
