2 Element Quads
- Thread starter NorthStar
- Start date
If you live in an area with high winds or ice storms (or both) I would rethink a quad unless you like taking it down and fixing it. In my 11-meter days, I ran a PDL2 at 80', being that I am in Chicago we get wind and ice. I was constantly repairing the antenna. Not worth the hassle.
Who makes the best two element quad?
If your able to use a tape measure and have the time you can make a great quad by yourself. Plenty of links online to help you get started

No, I have seen their Amateur Quads in person I have to think the CB line is as well.You can judge that by this photo?

So am I understanding this correctly, you only get 1 MHz of useful bandwith on this antenna? That would just barely cover 11m.

$329 2/3 the price. Better in just about every specification and dual polarity as a bonus. Might want to take a look.
