The Quadlong is a antenna we do not see often on 27 Mhz.

But with only 1,53 meter boomlength it migth be a great antenna for those running the “portable set-up”.

 

ELEMENT DISTANCES:

Refector (s)- loop = 1,53 meter

ELEMENT LENGTH:

REFLECTOR = 22mm thick and 5,46 meter long

The loop has a heigth of 3,99 meter and a width of 1,593 meter.

FEEDING THE ANTENNA:

The antenna has a impedance of 28 Ohms it can be fed with a gamma-match or hairpin match etc.

Another good options is do what DK7ZB does:
