Hi Jimmie

Mt Cebik has some words on this.. I'll admit I didn't read it, only
searched for the word on his site.

Might be a good place to start.

I note your reluctance to model antennas. This is however a great
technique you can deliver to your club members!

I was trying to get some comparative data on quad vs quagi antennas
for a club presentation. I would like to be able to compare Quads of a
given number of elements with Quagis of the same number. It is my
understanding that for short boomed antennas the quad will win out but
the quagi is best for longer higher gain antennas. Some numbers would
really help illustrate this but so far I have not found any
information on short quagis.
