I've been using Quads for many (50+) years. Previously I have always used 1/4
wave matching transformers.
But this time when it went up, I purchased a commercial matching transformer.
Well, when it was installed, it was open. So, for a temporary fix, the 20 and
17 meter elements were attached to the feedline directly. The antenna seems to
perform quite well even in this hookup.
I am tempted to just hook all the elemments to the feedline without a matching
device of any kind.
I have read many things written about doing this and it seems that all seem to
have favorable results.
I am interested in hearing from fellows that have done this and what their
results were.
Thanks,
Tom K5IID
