EV> TW> {at}MSGID: 
EV> EV>So a Quagi looks like it has two square reflector sections instead of
EV> EV>reflector elements?
EV> EV>I would guess that them being of a larger size helps the Front to Back
EV> EV>Ratio?

EV> TW> Actually one of the "Square" elements is the Active radiating
EV> TW> element connected to the coax cable and the one of the
EV> TW> reflector.

EV>Thanks Tom,

EV>I'd guess that would be true of having the Reflector as large as
EV>the Driven Element.

EV> EV>As I was typing near the end of this message I remembered a SQUALO
EV> EV>Antenna, if I spelled it right, and just had to write about it.
EV> EV>I think it was a Square Halo antenna way back in the 1960's for 6M and
EV> EV>maybe 2M. It's been a L O N G time since I've thought about those.

EV> TW> You could consider the Quagi a verticaly polarized SQUALO with
EV> TW> directors and a reflector.

EV>I came close then, didn't I?, comparing the Rear Elements of the Beam
EV>to a SQUALO.

the actualy square antenna antenna elements are of differnet designs so
that is why said: "You could consider..."
