Jaybeam Q6-2 6 element quad for 2 metres

Hello everybody. I would like to ask if anybody has any info on this antenna.
What is the gain of this antenna? I have read that it is 10.9dbd . But I have also seen a simulated diagram which is in German, that gives a figure of 9.26dbd.
I have 2 of these antennae and so am trying to get a rough idea what the effective vertical stacking distance is likely to be.
Also what is the feedpoint Z of this antenna? This I can find out myself but I thought I would ask first.
I have read mixed comments on this antenna regarding poor f/b ratio. So I am fully aware that there may be better antenna systems to choose from. However seen as they cost me very little in comparison, I would like to have a play for 2 metre ssb work mainly Sporadic e and Tropo.
Any info that you can give would be very much appreciated. Even if you have had experience using this antenna please tell me. I am interested to know.
Many thanks
Regards
Lee
