Quados 6 antenna for 23cms

Hi all

Has anyone made a Quados 6 antenna with 2mm wire, the calculator online calls for 4mm wire as I guess this is scaled from 2.4ghz where 2mm wire is required.

I've emailed Dragoslav to see if they have any suggestions or if the calculator could be ammended for 2mm wie on 23cms.

Maybe it cannot but as this is readily available and cheap I feel this is a good option.

I have 3d printed standoffs and a jig for making the elements which make it repeatable.

I've built 'ordinary' bi-quads from 2mm ECC for 24cms, similarly broadband. I'd not worry, use what you have and see.
