I am rebuilding a moonraker four and I am thinking about replacing the quad reflector with the yagi style.Is there any real benefit between the two?I can build both, just wondering what you guys think. Thanks!
I agree, and if you don't already know....if you do go with the wire, don't go with the "rejection" kit. It's just a gimmick and in my opinion, does more harm than good....sorta confuses the driven element to which is the front or back of the beam I believe.C2 said:I think if you have a quad, a quad reflector is better.
If it is just a yagi, then I don't believe it would matter much at all.

W5LZ said:That longer driven elements are better than shorter driven elements?

The "laws of inverse reciprocity". Would you tell me what that means? I do have to admit it's the absolute best one I've heard in years. I love it!

C2 said:Sounds like a quagi...
Would it not be even better to use all quad elements?
Maybe even best to make the elements circular?
But in the context of the MR4, is the reflector really a "quad" element, or is there just an extra piece of wire going around the reflector elements?

I don't think that's true.
