    We give a construction for a generalized Hadamard matrix GH(4q,EA(q)) as a \(4\times 4\) matrix of \(q\times q\) blocks, for q an odd prime power other than 3 or 5. Each block is a GH(q,EA(q)) and certain combinations of 4 blocks form GH(2q,EA(q)) matrices. Hence a GH(4q,EA(q)) matrix exists for every prime power q.
