Thanks guys, ill look up the ma5b, the cubical quads are big, but essentially there is nothing to them. I think they would stand up to massive wind too. Hmmm, the more elements the better the directional gain... It could be knocked together with one plastic boom, 8 pieces of bamboo, some copper wire and some fishing line... Oh, and some cable ties.... They are bigger than ya think ya know mate. A 4 ele quad will have a boom of about 35 feet long. The elements will be around 12 foot a side. Thats some foot print up in the air for ya neighbours to look at. |

you can use anything thats a conductor to make an ariel Not if it doesn't radiate a signal it doesn't. i could make an ariel from the wiring in my house you know you can andy , |

Only problem using your house wiring will probably create a lot of noise on the received signal. Look up PLT interference on youtube, lots of noise. |

Well its hardly free with the cost of the equipment. Some of the gear is so expensive you could get a couple of motorbikes for the same money.
