Many years ago I had a 2 element 20m quad on a 6 foot boom at 90 feet.  It
was absolutely worthless on 20m and I am convinced that it was because the
boom was too short.  And I did adjust the driven element for resonance and
the reflector for best Front to Back.

I believe if it had been on a .2 wavelength boom (13.124 feet) I would have
been happy with it.
