Hey Copper, why do you not have a Quad antenna series for sale. They clearly leave the vericals in the dust if you can and have room for a small beam plus setup. |

jyd back in the late 70's i built out of tubing a 2 elm V quad cut to 50.2 Mhz... killer antenna as much gain as a 3 elm beam. If i had the room id be running one on 17 meters now .... but you know the story the wife thinks antennas are ugly.... and when the wife is not happy ..... well you know. |

how does the v-quad compare in performance to a pdl 2 or a superhawk? |

That's a good question. The V-Quad claims to have as much gain as a three element beam. I like the fact they send and recieve both polarity signals.

twa77,
that is a good question!
given element spacing and lengths are equal for both beams as well as boom length. and being those quad loops have the following
a square "loop" has .86dbd
a delta "loop" has .55dbd
the cubicals will have slightly higher gain of the two. |
