RE: [amsat-bb] Quad Antennas?

As other posters have stated, CP's a tough one out of a quad.

If you want CP out of a Quad you might have to re-think the feeding
arrangements.

The closest I've seen is the WiMo X-Quad which is kind of unique. It center
feeds the Quad driven element rather than feeding at the perimeter like you
do a normal Quad.

Now that's the extent of my antenna theory knowledge, see for yourself:
