hamradiofinds.com Hello..This is Mel WA5UTK..I have had several request to do a video on my Cubex 4-Element ham radio quad antenna..The boom is 30Ft long & the antenna is roughly 25Ft above ground..I have 4 bands on it 10, 15, 17 & 20..The 15mtr loops are open due to interaction with 17..Normally when I am on the air, you will hear me on 17..I like that band the best due to no contests & no nets..Hope you enjoyed the video..Now that the bands are coming back, I will probably get a little more active..73s, Mel

Hi my name is Javier KC2MXH and I had thought a lot about adquiring a 2 elemente quad instead of a 6 elemetn Tennadyne. This to replace a Cushcraft A3S which only gives me 20/15/10 and I enjoy a lot 17 m. Do you recomend me a 2 elemetn Cubex Quad versus a Tennadyne? I also heard that tunning the Quad is very difficult. what is your imput about this?
Thanks!

I was a radio operator on U.S. merchant ships for 10 years 1987 to 1995. Hams using quad antennas had the strongest signals no matter where in the world I was. Of course I used the ship’s commerical radio gear to do hamming. I’d say the Quad had at least 3dB of gain over a multi element yagi.
