DIY Modified Cubical Quad by Ethan Funk

Radio Road

Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

I'd like to build this antenna (modified cubical quad), but am sort of confused, because in the original writeup (www.thefsb.org/misc.html), two versions are illustrated. Version 1 is the diagram on the web page, and version 2 is shown in the click-up rotating 3D display. I've sketched both versions and posted them on my website at http://home.att.net/~dmva/wsb/html/view.cgi-photos.html-.html.
Can one of you antenna experts tell me which is the correct version? They aren't identical, although both use the same total length of wire. Are they equivalent, despite appearances?
Also - cubical quad antennas normally use a reflector - none is mentioned in the article. Was that a mistake, or is this one intended to be used without a reflector? I believe this would make the antenna more efficient, and much more directive, right?
