Great value for the money Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This small frame quad really rocks! It was easy to build and the service at Lighning Bolt was great. Michael and Connie Duddy did the great work to answer my questions. The price (included door-to-door shipping) was low enough even to Scandinavia.

My quad is mounted on a mast about 10 meters above the ground and it works great. When I don't hear anything with my doublet, I hear the DX about S3 with 22MCQ. Last weekend I worked many DX stations on the ARRL 10 meter contest and few interesting Au-Es QSOs too.

The 22MCQ seems to survive the storms very well.

They should advertise their products better. I heard about the company when I read the product reviews here at eHam.

73 and good DX!

Quad is at 10m on a mast bolted to the end of my house.

I wish he built a 40m antenna 8-)

fantastic quad Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is a real great performer, great f/b, and really works dx. This quad is pathectically easy to put together, a child could do it, and only in a few hours. one man job. Instructions are so easy to follow, and everything really lines up. it is only 12ft x 12ft. and weights 16lbs a small tv rotor will turn it. the only thing lightening bolt needs to do is advertise it better. will out perform any yagi in its class. Mike at lightenbolt is great to talk to and service is very fast and professional. this is a must for limited space. And will amaze anyone on performance, but quad always do.
