Status Quad 4 StQ 5 4 elements 5 bands
5-band cubical quad antenna for 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 m, 4 elements per band, 8.20 m boom
The Status Quad 4 StQ 5 is a 5-band cubical quad HF antenna for 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 metres, built in Italy by Status Quad.
Product description
It has 4 elements on each of the 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10 metre bands, with an 8.20 m boom.
Because of the long boom it comes standard with the horizontal guying kit, which counteracts the lateral wind forces on the boom. The kit consists of a plate on the boom with an aluminium tube that tensions the Kevlar rope guys; hardware and clamps are stainless steel.
The optional 4 StQ 50 kit for 50 MHz can be mounted on the same boom: this gives a full-size six-band quad on a single boom.
As an option, even after installation, the element guying kit can be added: 25 mm fibreglass boom extensions, 3 mm Mastrant guys connecting the elements to each other and to the extensions, and a Mastrant loop on each element. The kit prevents the fibreglass spreaders from moving in strong wind or with snow on the wire: the structure stays just flexible enough to absorb the wind load without ever exceeding the critical level of mechanical stress.
