Thanks for you input everyone.

I cannot find a reference for this ATC phraseology and therefore think it is incorrect RT practice. As dreamland pointed out a quadrant is one quarter of a circle and therefore this clearance is assuming standard right hand turns, it is a very ambiguous clearance and IMHO should be given as “hold south east on the 180 radial right hand turns”
