[Antennas] Lightning Bolt Quads

2003年9月22日 09:07:30 -0400

Hi guys - does anyone have experience with quads at VHF?
I am thinking of getting a Lightning Bolt 62MQ-4
It has 2 elements on 6m and 4 on 2m. Seems to make for a nice 
compact directional array while taking only modest space. I wanted something I 
can put on a long mast on the back of my house 
using house brackets to brace the top of the mast against the eaves,
while sinking a hinged base mast at the ground so I can tilt it over
for working on it at ground level when I need to add things etc.
Two story house, so it will sit up at about 24-25 feet high.
It should work fine with the small Channel Master 
rotator that I have here. Does anyone have experience
running SSB / CW / AM with these modest VHF arrays?
Best regards - AF4K
