Hi Dave, WB6LLO

Your Quadrifilar Helix will work very well as a feed for a dish and with a
minimum  spillower if the F/D ratio of  the dish is ranging from 0.3 to 0.35

See my article " Experimental Investigation on Quadrifilar Helix Antennas
for 2400 MHz" publisched in AMSAT-Journal May/June 2004
