I am considering building a quad antenna, and I have some questions I would like to ask the net: - Where can I get fiberglass spreaders, and are they worth the extra expense over bamboo? - I am considering mounting the antenna on a tripod on the roof of my two story house. What is a good tripod-rotator combination? I would like to locate the rotator below the top of the tripod to keep some of the stress off it. - I can get a 2-element boomless spider locally. Are boomless quads sturdy? - I am interested in anyones experience with quad construction, and the per- formance of the antenna. - I hope to make a tri-bander, so I am interested in feed methods too. I will appreciate your help. Please reply by mail, and I will post a follow- up article if there is interest. Thanks in advance, Robert T. Neece N4JEO
