[Antennas] Lightening Bolt Antennas

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 10:45:58 -0400

Generally speaking, a two element multiband quad will outperform a two
element monoband Yagi and a three element multiband Yagi.  It will have
less gain than a typical three element monoband Yagi.

Although I don't use their design, I buy my quad parts from Lightning
Bolt.  The parts are high quality and reasonably priced and the service
is friendly and efficient.
