![]() Many of these antennas have survived several years of bouncing up and down mountain roads that are little more than goat trails. The Quagi requires neither fine tuning nor careful handling. But equally important, the quagi can be built by the average amateur with simple materials at a fraction of the cost of a commercial antenna. ![]() At frequencies above 144 MHz, only larger and very well tuned antennas tend to outperform the eight element Quagi. The result is an antenna that has outperformed all similar size conventional Yagis and a number of bigger ones at three VHF conferences where antenna gains were measured. This article describes an eight element quagi design with quad type driven element1 and reflector plus six Yagi type parasitic directors. Well, here are the “true” facts, the real dope, the hot scoop.Īs its name suggests, the quagi combines the best features of the cubical quad and the linear Yagi-Uda beam antenna. There have been many half-hearted attempts to combine a Yagi and a Quad. The VHF Quagi from an article by Wayne Overbeck, K6YNB in QST April 1977 “Building a 440MHz Quagi” description is from Gary Bonnor – VK4ZGB
