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.
