It's certainly possible, but I don't know if there is any thing as a CP
quad.  Most sat ops use CP.  No reason you couldn't use a quad though.  They
are a little more cumbersome than a Yagi, so that might make them less
popular too.  And if you can't get CP in a single quad, you could certainly
phase 2 of them to do it.

Just don't know what advantage you'd get.....
