Directional antennas

The cubical quad I built works :smiley: . Today is probably not a good day to test as we have freezing fog in the South of England so a lot of flights cancelled. The weather looks to be the same for the next couple of days :unamused:

Anyway, here is the quad.

This is how it compares to my latest CoCo. The quad is pointing SW. Rings are 50nm

This is my latest CoCo. I stripped the outer and braid from my coax just leaving the core and insulation. Then slipped a piece of copper tubing over the insulation which was carefully cut to 91mm ( my coax has VF 0.66). Then soldered core to tube/tube to core etc.

Note, the quad and the CoCo are in my loft, not outside.
