   EV> EV>So a Quagi looks like it has two square reflector sections instead of   
   EV> EV>reflector elements?   
   EV> EV>I would guess that them being of a larger size helps the Front to Back   
   EV> EV>Ratio?   
      
   EV> TW> Actually one of the "Square" elements is the Active radiating   
   EV> TW> element connected to the coax cable and the one of the   
   EV> TW> reflector.   
      
   EV>Thanks Tom,   
      
   EV>I'd guess that would be true of having the Reflector as large as   
   EV>the Driven Element.   
      
   EV> EV>As I was typing near the end of this message I remembered a SQUALO   
   EV> EV>Antenna, if I spelled it right, and just had to write about it.   
   EV> EV>I think it was a Square Halo antenna way back in the 1960's for 6M and   
   EV> EV>maybe 2M. It's been a L O N G time since I've thought about those.   
      
   EV> TW> You could consider the Quagi a verticaly polarized SQUALO with   
   EV> TW> directors and a reflector.   
      
   EV>I came close then, didn't I?, comparing the Rear Elements of the Beam   
   EV>to a SQUALO.   
      
   the actualy square antenna antenna elements are of differnet designs so   
   that is why said: "You could consider..."
