You can build one. I have a friend right now that has rebuilt a Maco Laser 400 into a cubical quad. Cubicals are very efficent.

Signal Engineering makes great products. They also have some great reading material on their website. Check it out: [Please login or register to view this link]

That description, "1/4 wave cubical quad", is very misleading. Sure, the sides are a 1/4 wave long, but the total length of each element is still one wave length. I know it's being 'picky', but it really does make a difference. Sorry 'bout that...
