Hi All, since the quad is made with full wavelength loops. the feed point
can be selected to make the high voltage points midway between corners. That
results in no sharp points at the highest voltage locations.

Likely someone has some hard test data on this."
As I recall, the quad was developed as a solution to corona discharge.
HCJB
is a broadcast station in the Andes and the yagis suffered corona
discharge
off the ends. The quad solved that problem.
