Building the 5 el QUAD
Before building the quad about 100 of hours was spent to Eznec. Finally the program showed the optimum balance F/B and gain for me at a low SWR. And.... after building the antenna it was exactly like modelled, really unbelievable!! This saved me hours of taking the antenna up and down!
Oops, big one! Carefull with the apple trees!
First the 400 meters of wire was connected in each element. Then element by element was mounted in the boom.
Here I connect the 20 meter coax to the element.
PA0GMS is helping; The boom had to be 4 meters raised from the ground to mount the elements.
Ready to crank it up?
