- The installation of the 2-element Lightning Bolt quad is fairly easy. You can install the boom on the tower without the 2-elements attached. Leave the 2 U-bolts that secure the boom to the mast plate

- When I put up my quad, I checked the resonance at the feedpoints using an Autek RF1. I used a couple of inches of wire to attach the RF1 to the loop feedpoints. Some of the results did not seem corre
