Would anyone have a copy of an article from either 73 or CQ magazine
somewhere around the 90's which contained an article on how to
construct a Fractal Quad antenna for 10 metres. The design was based on
work done by Nathan Coen N1IR.

I remember seeing a construction article, but not sure where.
I looked through my Communications Quarterlys and found summer 1995
has an article "Fractal Antennas Part 1, Introduction and the Fractal
Quad"
You might be able to build an antenna from the article, I couldn't.
They sell the article here.

I don't know if part two was ever printed.
Chip took a lot of heat about this idea, probably would have
saved himself a lot of grief if he would have skipped the whole ham thing
and just started marketing them as shrunken antennas.

I found a Comm Quarterly index, Chip has more Fractal articles.
summer 1995, spring 1996, summer 1996 and winter 1996.
I dont know if any are construction articles.
