Re: Remember these?
They're massive, its basically half of a Moonraker four. I had one of these for years, brilliant, simply excellent 11 metre band antenna. Its a cubical quad two elements with both vertical and horizontal polarity. Cant remember the gain figures.
The elements are about 5m accross so will take up some space. They are light enough for a cheap rotator.
I modified mine with extra reflection at the back, this is like a spiders web of copper elements, it is supposed to increase reflection 
Very highly recommended, and theres a good chance you'll be bidding against me for this one

Re: Remember these?
I ran one back in the day. It is a great antenna if you have limited space. The boom lenth is close to 5 feet long and each side of the quad is about the same.
