I wonder what you mean with the V-QUads elevation is actually slightly lower than the omni direction...
I quickly scanned the article, it left some questions with me...
And there are some statements that are ....lets say open for debate.
It certainly is not true that this antenna does not need heigth compared to others. And i wonder how he managed to get those vertical polarised detailed information as all i see is horizontal polarisation pictures.
And in those pictures it is clear he wouldnt be able to place it vertical with the obstacles around it. ( it will hit the roof)
Perhaps he mentioned it in that article...? ill have to read it later...allready 0715 local time here hi.
But it is usefull to get an idea about the assembly !
And i dont want to blame the guy, i fully understand not all are into the theory behind it... (neither am I).
The opinion.....
Well, if i need something to work DX with small turning radius and had limited antenna heigth.. this could be "the" option.
There could be a situation where the antenna height leaves a beam pointing directly at your rooftop... where the delta loop which sits on the mast stands clear from obstacles.
If you want vertical, and want a bit of horizontal... a vertical polarised delta loop is also the way to go.
in all other situations there are most likely better options.
Kind regards,
