I like your quad, too.

I am still in the refining phase with it, but I've talked a little DX, and the little bit of local has been within ten - twenty miles of me. The more distant stations I've talked to on my homemade 5/8 wave have been silent for the past week so no radio checks from them, yet.

have a barefoot station, keying 2 - 6 watts, and swinging about 25 or so. I am only 28' at the boom. No tower and doing my best with what I've got.

There are times I hear better with the 5/8 at 34 feet, and times the quad has better ears for the same signal.

I will keep up the posts on performance as I tweak the thing.
