Has anyone on the reflector had experience operating a 20m quad--2,3 or 
4 elements--on 30m?  Loading the quad on 30 is no problem, of course, 
and theoretically the 20m quad should perform better than a full-size 
dipole or small trap beam, at least at low heights, but I'm interested 
in experience with actual, on-air performance.

I've used a dozen or more quads and loops over the years, but never had 
reason to try the 20m versions on 30. If you've had practical, 
real-world experience with such a setup, I'd welcome your observations.  
I am especially interested in noise and signal strength.  Many tks, es 
73 to all!!  Jan N0JR
