BiQuad antenna question

[gary]

It would help to have the link to the antenna design.

I'm going to upload a photo tonight of a biquad I built that is a bit 
easier to build than most of the designs on the net. Basically, all I 
did was use round loop at 3x the wavelength rather than squares that are 
a wavelength on each side.

IMHO, you need to build these antennas using a connector on the back, 
not coax. This is because you need a rigid "pipe" on the antenna to feed 
the loops.

This is the "proper" biquad design in that is uses a coax feed to the loop:

Mine is similar except I use a N female to N female adapter with one of 
the N connectors hacksawed off as the basic feed. This bypasses the 
copper pipe deal. And as I stated earlier, it uses loops instead of squares.
