[VHFcontesting] Dual Band Antenna

[kevinemtid at sbcglobal.net]

Jeff,
 
Amother possibility is a Dual Band Quad. My original quad is only 4ft long and has a fiberglass boom. It has 4 ele for 2mtrs and ?6ele for 432. It has worked pretty well but I eventually went to the 8ft boom model with 8 ele on 2 and 11 on 432. These were mounted on top of my tower. Checkout www.cubex.com. Yes they have separate feed lines but using a diplexer on the mast just below the antenna will allow you to use one feed down to the radio. I'm not sure how much power you can run through the diplexer however. It is a very lightweight and practical antenna.
