[TowerTalk] 6 mtr quad

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

One of the issues with wide spacing on quads is that they may lose 
coupling from the driven elements and don't develop the gain one would 
expect.  A quagi idea works but that uses a quad driven element and 
reflector with the rest of the elements being conventional. I use here a 
3 element quad for 20-10 and on another tower I have Hi-Gain 5 element 
beams.  Most of the time they are equal while listening on a websdr 
overseas.  There are times when the yagi is slightly better...but only 
slightly.
