I have the following bookmarks for quads:

	http://www.cvarc.org/QUAD/CubQuad.html	
		Cubical Quad Design
	http://www.n6mrx.com/Antenna/Cubical-Quad1.htm
	http://www.qsl.net/n6bg/thunt/quad.html	
		Cubical Quad Antennas
	http://www.softcom.net/users/kd6dks/quad.html
		Quad Antenna JavaScript Calculator

I have not checked these links recently, so some could be duds now.

There is a book on quads (I think one of the above links advertises it) that
may also be useful to you.

As I recall, the ARRL Antenna Book has a quad for 2M that could be scaled to
70cm.

My personal experience with quads was not good.  I built a ~7el quad for 432
and it seemed to perform about as good as a dipole.  I hope your experince is
better than mine!
