Pictures showing the final installation of 2 ele 5 band LB Quad with optional 3" boom.
Here are several pictures showing different views of the final installation. The 2 ele 5 band LB quad with 3" boom is mounted on a 26 ft Glen Martin aluminum roof tower that has been installed on a deck 8 ft off the ground. One picture shows it facing north towards EU, looking across Lake Osoyoos into Canada. About 80 ft above the surface of the lake. This installation provided less than 1.5 to 1 SWR across all 5 ham bands and it has great gain and acceptable front to back ratio. The LB quad is the best performing ant I have installed in my 47 years of ham radio. Like all well designed quads, it can make wire antennas seem like a dummy load for DX :-) Highly recommended.
