Impressive. Much thought and effort. Im working on a 2 element cubical quad on 30 ft rohn on homebrew hinge plate and its taken me damn near a year and counting. Thanks for the inspiration. 73's.

I had the 6 element which was the largest at the time on top of a wind mill tower at 40' . I was king of 11 meter side band in San Antonio.in the 70's it stood up to Texas weather just fine the solid copper wire elements lasted 15 years till I took it down . The only thing that wore was the short aluminum tubes that the fiberglass spreaders slid into they eventually wore the holes out a little making them a little loose but other than that the antenna was fantastic. I bought a complete rebuild kit and another complete antenna before Signal Engineering closed up.

Hi Ric Steel. WOW congratulations! Fantastic rig. And what an "elevator" fo rthe antenna was real good. Best reg., Sugar Delta 148 Div 20 Norway. DX is very good these days, in Nov/DEC 2023. Take care.

Had a signal engineering 4 element quad and loved it it replaced my Hygain Big Gin 2, both did Same as far as I could tell .

Nice beam! Great video 👍🏻

No surprise at the low SWR at ground level. The signal is coupling with ground. Never trust those readings at that height. Very nice antenna and tower.

Nice antennas but the weak spot is the cross drilled holes in the boom. Would be a much better antenna if they used hubs instead.

What do you make of the antenna is it good for ground wave

had the 8 and made it into a 10 back in 2003 i think it was.

Just wondering now that it's been up for a while, if you have had any problems with wind breaking the wires? That is the problem I had with my 4 element quad...It didn't like Texas winds too much.

How has she held up? looks well built. 73's thanks for the video

This is not a Quad, basically because the driver element is not a configured as a quad loop, instead is configured as 1/2 vertical antenna. For this reason the bottom feed point is vertical polarization, opposite to propper quad drivers. If a Yagi with quad driver (and reflector) is called "Quagi", this antenna with quad reflector and directors and vertical driver could be called "Quavert", but definitely not a Cubical Quad.

This is correct is not a real quad...the driver element is a closed loop whit the feed point in the corners for that reason is a 1/2 wave driver element not a real quad, for that reason is not performance very well. Eliezer NP3EW 73"

I've tried to understand the driven element for years but let me see here if it's not a real quad then it must be real close . I see 4 , 1/4 wave sections in a quad shape as a continuous loop thats a full wave length , guys I must be missing something they had that feed patented and it worked just fine for me . The antenna held up good and out lasted My service there.

@@leedlbo9949 Your right it a folded dipole feeding a full wave quad to make it feed point from vertical or Horizontal it a real quad
@extremlaybak
@extremlaybak 2 года назад
it a Cubical Quad with switchable from vertical or Horizontal with a folded dipole to feed it , A QuYagi is a quad reflector with a half wave yagi driven and a half wave yagi director with is not a cubical quad like a Maco commit or Maco shooting star is a QuYagi, now all quad fed vertical is fed at the bottom if it fed from the side it in Harazonal all Cubical quad please read up on antennas before you put someone's antenna down because everybody reads what you print knows you don't know anything about antennas.

This is a real quad. It's just a voltage fed quad (from folded half wave dipole) It's not the traditional current fed quad with a balun.
