Hi Mike: Re rotator near tower bottom: Many of us have done this in Calgary using self supporting towers to take the torque load off the top section. I had...
I have a five band HEX on a 30ft. telescoping pole. The pole is mounted on a 12 foot 4X4 set in the ground 3 feet. I have a thrust bearing at the top of the...
Its nice when we have help to put up or remove our antennas, but that isn't always possible. If a good part of our hobby is experimenting with antennas, then...
35 feet should do you quite nicely. 40 is considered the optimum. My 20 meter wire is only at 29' and I get outstanding results. It is truly global and I...
I didn't do any exhustive testing or make any measurements about how well the (KIO) BB Hex worked at differing heights. Originally it worked quite well at 30...
Morning Allen, Â Â Â I gues I am repeating myself, sorry, as there may be newer menbers of the group, but here goes.. Â Â Â I have a Traffie beam...been up...
A few people have asked me to post the "lessons learned" from hanging my two hex beams in the trees behind my home. I have two hex beams in trees, a 10-15 and...
Hi Lou, Thanks for your interest. I have read all the stuff about Hex-type beams that has come out over the past several years. I have noted the work by Steve...
this is an interesting conversation. of course the hex works better with height. nearly all antennas do. I thought the attraction of the hex was "good...
Note well taken...I hope to do as well when I get there...2 wars and all the milage catches up with you.. that is why i like the hex....works very well and...
Has anybody else tried loading a 20 m. band of a hex on 40? I tried it once using my LDG tuner, and it actually tuned and loaded well enough to get out OK. I...
hi Ed, thanks for the write-up - exactly what I was looking for, trying to understand. lucky for you, getting good towers for cheap ... and having a place to...

Nope mine is 20 to 6, the K3 ATU tunes the Hex up fine on 40m, its not ideal but I have worked some good DX on, as I said ZL and VK :-) 73's Ant MWØJZE The...
Hi, i wont to build a Monoband Broad Band Hexagonal Beam for 40 Meter. But i find only dimensions of multiband versions. Can someone help me? 73 de Andi, DC3RJ...

Hello frank, THANKS ! that is magnificent ! I'am goiing to read carefully, and start with building the 30/40 Hex very soon i hpe so.. I have to construct it...
It works really really well and weighs about 30-40 lbs. So far it has been able to handle 70 mph winds remember each spreader is 24' so you are dealing with a...

am looking for the specifications for Rohn 25G tower, to calculate whether it can be used _without_ guys as a self-supporting 40' tower to hold a KIO hexbeam...
HI, My K4KIO hex beam is at about 30' on a Nello tower which is the same as ROHN 25G. It is two sections of tower and a 10' mast using a G5400 rotator mounted...
... I would use a house bracket at the very least, putting the unsupported sections at 30'....and even that would cause me to lose sleep at night. Unless it is...
At least bracket it to the house or other structure. That will give a lot of rigidity to the tower, especially if at the higher levels like 20' Earl N4XK ...
