You have my undivided attention on this one. Can you steer me to a
design for the Cubical Quad that you were referring to? I have all
of the parts for a three element quad out in my shed. It came to me
from the clean off of an antenna tower removal. I'm unfamiliar with
the merits of that antenna but I am interested. The Forty Two Foot
Tower will probably end up at field day this year if I don't sell or
trade it but that will have the tribander three element beam on it. I
am planning to have a forty eight foot mast comprised of 1/4" wall
thickness two inch tubing and I was looking at the Spiderbeam as one
possible choice for the antenna on it. The original plan was to use
the mast for stacked VHF UHF array to go after the extra points
available by working those bands without changing our class. This
because a VHF / UHF station's contacts count but the transceiver does
not count as a station for class. The reason I was looking at the
possibility of another beam was that our GOTA station will need a
directional antenna that it does not have to share with the Two HF
Stations. That begs the question of what will I mount the VHF / UHF
stuff on but I digress.

The antenna being asked about is the Spiderbeam not the Hexbeam.
