Cal, The world seems to have moved on from quagis. The 'Loop Fed Array'
(LFA) Yagi design from G0KSC provides the advantage of high F/B rejection
and low noise, like a quad, but fills the sky less, like a Yagi.
See designs on the G0KSC website, here - http://www.g0ksc.co.uk/
I've built a number of LFA antennas, covering 70cms thu 6M, and have been
happy with their performance and simplicity of construction.

Has anyone on this forum built or used a Quagi on 2 meters? Anyone
currently using a Quagi?
Any comments welcome.

Yes, the world has moved on, but for a cheap, easy to build, and
reasonably effective antenna the Quagi is still viable. It would be
interesting to see what one could accomplished by optimizing the Quagi.
