Default Caged Di-Pole

Not that it is too relevant to your original post....

Cebik (http://www.cebik.com) talks about using multi conductor elements
in wire quad design to "fatten" the conductor. He mentions that thin
wire designs tend to be somewhat lossy (lower fwd gain and narrower b/w
etc) and the thicker elements make up for this.
