Quad Antenna Spreader

** This Quad antenna spreader can be used as a basis for antenna design on 6m, 2m, 70cm, etc.. I wouldn't use it for an HF antenna design as the spreader isn't robust enough.**

** With all that being said, you MAY be able to use it on 10m but I would proceed with caution.**

I love building and experimenting with new antennas. Six meter E Skip season is upon us so I thought I'd design a quad. I designed this spreader around the 1.5" fiberglass boom material I already had at my house that I had purchased for another project. You may or may not have this so I will provide a list below of items needed as well as links to purchase everything online.

First, I used the website below to determine measurements and materials required for the project.
