At BIG SIGNAL we present the latest generation in design and development of Cubical Quad antennas for the VHF / 144 MHz band.
Why choose a Quad antenna versus a traditional Yagi?
· Full wavelength antenna in 2 meters, reaching maximum performance and efficiency.
· More gain in less boom length than a Yagi of the same size.
· Very low noise. Being a closed antenna it will allow you to reduce the QRN and urban noise, improving the quality of reception of very weak signals in the band.
· Less influence to cross polarization than a Yagi. This translates into less QSB, fading or signal loss when receiving signals in different polarization, ideal for communications via SAT or EME.
· Very high selectivity. Excellent suppression of side and rear lobes, further reducing unwanted noise in reject directions.
· Quick and easy installation: pre-assembled elements, assembly without tools.
The best directional antenna option for 144 MHz on urban environments, in times where noise in cities is increasingly high, a cubical quad antenna is the definitive solution for DX practice with the maximum guaranteed performance.

Mi idea era poner una antena para VHF y UHF para iniciarme un poco en estas bandas, no queria unas antenas muy grandes y aparatosas, pero si queria que tuviesen un gran rendimiento, por lo menos el mejor posible, en un tamaño comedido. Despues de dar muchas vueltas, buscar información y comentarios, me he decidido por una 8BS-2 y 12BS-70.
Las antenas estan mecanicamente perfectas, muy sencillas de montar y seguro que daran buenos dias de entretenimiento y DXs.
Nos escuchamos desde IN73DL.
Dear Radio Amateurs.
I am happy for the decision to buy the 8 ele. Quad Antenna for the 2m Band.
Now I am able to hear stations, that I have never heard before. You can try it. Iam sure, that this is the first 8ele. Quad antenna, now working in Carinthia-Austria.
With the very best regards

Desde el Sur de Tenerife al Norte sin problema con la orografía de las Islas. No nos creemos los resultados. Contacto desde el Sur de Tenerife con La Gomera de fondo y contactando con el Norte de Tenerife con señales de S9+. Esto pocas antenas lo logran...
