I find this best for HF or VHF with few elements. No other quad program uses this information. He discovered that odd number of elements perform better than even and developed the wire size scaling. The HF version is my program taken from research done by W3GNR who must have spent many hours of field research to develop his formulae. It is designed for 50 ohms and is the tried and true method. The Standard quad is designed from the textbook equations and is compliments of Roger Clement KC5LCA. If you discover anything that would make a program better or more accurate, please forward the info to me. They are continually evolving as I gather new information.
Originally I started writing the programs for my own use but I decided to make them available for the amateur community. There are lots of good websites out there. If you are new to building, check out other sites for construction details. MOST ARE AVAILABLE ON THE 2003 AMATEUR FUNK ( German Ham Radio magazine) CD. Most programs have inch and metric calculations. The program will give an error 13 when you try to compute. Also some European machines use a comma instead of the decimal point. THEY DO REQUIRE THAT THE DLLS ARE UP TO DATE, SO IF YOU GET AN ERROR OR THE PROGRAMS WILL NOT RUN, DOWNLOAD THE FULL VERSION OF HF QUAD 2002 AND IT WILL INSTALL THE PROPER DLLS SO ALL THE PROGRAMS WILL RUN. The programs do not write to the Windows registry so just delete the files when you no longer wish to keep them. To get you started, I have made up programs that cover the most common types of antennas and a few experimental designs. Hams go where no engineer has gone before. If not, you will still have the satisfaction of working that DX with a homebrew antenna.
We are still looking for that PERFECT antenna that is small, easy to build and is super efficient. We do not know all the rules so we go ahead and build the antennas anyways, Some work, some don't. For a hundred years the amateurs have made more breakthroughs in antenna design than the professionals. One area that is still open to amateurs is in antenna building.
