Hi guys, I have bought a used set of White Lightnings but the former owner doesn't have the instructions so I can put it back together correctly. Anyone have the manual with the instructions who will email or pm me with them it would be tremendously appreciated.

Last time I looked Signal Engineering web site was still up. Don't know anyone that ran the lightnings, several ran the two element quads and liked em.

The site is down. Anthony had some health issues and I guess he decided to get out of the business. His former partner has opened Lightning Quad Antennas.

Truth! Around here this time of year is the hardest. We'll get an ice storm and then high winds. Not a great combo for a large beam antenna.

I had one of these antennas about 10 years ago and soled it to the designer of the I-10-K Ground plane. I think Jay was going to do some testing on it,so anyways i liked this beam very much. Someone else posted they had a problem with high winds on this antenna. (Well, i did too). The fiberglass elements that holds the wire had some kind of a dielectric plastic that fastened the two together. When i took the antenna down the sheet metal screws were backing out of the holes. All and all it was a good beam antenna with very good receive on it. Roadrunner
