Hi Lee
Back in the 80s my best friend, KB3X (now W3YX) had a Gem Quad. Over
the years it did very well mechanically. It was a challenge to
initially tune so a crank-up would be my reccomendation for the tower.
We could run Europe on it in contests at 45 an hour.
Let us know how your project turns out.
73, Scott W3TX.
