Hello Graham and Jerry, A few years ago I compared the 70 cm X-QUAD with a 2 x 19 element TONNA live on some of the satellites. They turned out to give the same signal in my non scientific test. 73 OZ1MY/Ib

Hi Jerry,

I haven't "compared" them precisely but they work pretty well for me:)

Hello Group

Is there anyone who compared the WIMO X-quads with crossyagi's?

Hi Jerry,

I worked for more than 10 years with Wimo X-Quads (and only 25 watts). Polarization was hardwired to RHCP. These antennas are very compact - the floor space/performance ratio cannot be beaten. All my satellite activities / reception of telemetry since 1996 I have made with this antennas and I was very satisfied.

Hello all,

I fully agree with Mike. They are very compact but good antennas. I achieved ZRO level 8 on both, 2m and 70cm, using each time a single X-Quad. Based on their size they can be easily mounted foremast without distortion of the polarization ...

My antennas are presently down because of some reconstruction work around my home, but you can find some pictures and description on my homepage at www.dd1us.de (including a description how to switch them from LHCP and RHCP).

Best regards
