I was thinking about a single band quad. I figured that on a single

Are the two 0.35WL spreaders shorted together in the center
or are there four 0.175WL spreaders insulated in the center?
Seems to me, this could easily be modeled using EZNEC.
I've never done it but I'll bet others have.

Haven't tried to build it yet, just kicking around the idea since I
have the aluminum and not the fiberglass.
