Did you see the article by AA2TX in the Feb 2010 QST on a parasitic 
version of the Lindenblad?  I thought that was pretty clever, since it 
makes the feed a lot simpler and you don't need any insulators in the 
four elements for the feeds.  There's an earlier version here: 
http://www.stalad.it/iz4bqv/antspec/2006ParaLindy.pdf  It would seem 
that a j-pole feed would work for the center dipole, too.

Here is another neat idea for construction at 432:

I've never built one, but I have EZNEC models of both the parasitic and 
standard versions if anyone interested.  It also appears to work well 
with only three elements, although this probably makes construction more 
difficult.
