Hi I have been having trouble sourcing fibre glass whips but have found 4 metre fibre glass whips at http://www.bigjohnsangling.co.uk/ they are £5.49 each...
All, The beauty of the hex beam from an antenna design standpoint is that the portion of the antenna that does the most radiating (the center portion of the...

Paul Schaffenberger Sounds great to me Paul. I am about to start on a multiband version of the hexbeam. I built a single band one earlier and now would like to...
Gary, This system should play well in a multiband configuration, as the t-bar can be used on the lowest frequency band only. This design uses a rigid, rather...

Hi to all in the group. I have been a long time lurker, first time poster. I finally took the plunge and purchased a HX5Bi. I am impressed with the...
Terry, Congrats! I know you will love it. I have been working DX right and left. My hexbeam is not so quite. No fault of the Hexbeam... got some bad...
Hi Terry, congratulations for your new Hex-beam! I have home brew 5 band Hexbeam since few months. We have QSO with you in EA RTTY contest which I remember,...

Because of a major lack of $, I'm forced to homebrew a hexbeam. It looks decently easy and cheap to build one. I spent about three hours reading some of the...
Having built a five-band hex using spreaders made of bamboo garden stakes strapped together with hoseclamps, I am ready to tackle one of DF4SA's "Spider Beam"...
Hi Doug: On page 21 it says: ". . . in San Francisco, California, the difference was 1-2 S-units in favor of the Hex-beam. We believe the difference noticed...

It was nice to see an attempt to make some OTA comparisions of the HB and another antenna. I have a few small comments about the methods and results. First,...

Happy Easter Weekend to all!! This morning I worked S05X (Western Shara) on 20 Meters. He was 5/5 in my shack with heavy QRM. He had a large pile-up but I...
Doug: A fast read of the article seems to suggest three comments: 1) the HB and the other antenna (brand X?) did about the same, with the HB a bit better at...
Interesting discussion about the relationship between height and elevation angle . . . Chapter 23 of the ARRL Antenna Book has a discussion about elevation...
Hi Chuck, Good observations. If the 20 m Hex-beam element is at 43.5' (40' tower), the elevation beam goes from 4-46 degs at the -12 dB points and 7-40 degs...

I was thinking when you guys were talking about take off angles, could you get a azumith rotor to vary the angle? The hex beam should be light enough for one...
