For anyone interested in making a quad antenna I highly reccomend looking at Max Gain Systems for parts. They are not the cheapest place in the world IMHO but they do offer some great antenna components and the fiberglass spreaders are great.

MAX-GAIN SYSTEMS, INC. : Fiberglass Price List

I plan to purchase and hopefully install a new 56 foot tower this fall and then purchase the fiberglass spreaders from Max Gain Systems to build my own antenna. My plan is to build it over the winter/spring and install it next spring/summer. I have already drawn up the design details for it to be a five band quad for 10,12,15,17, and 20m. It will be two elements on 15,17, and 20m and hopefully three elements on 10 and 12m. Boy, the wife hates the footprint of my A3 tribander now,wait until she sees just how big the quad will be.
