I have built a Hex Beam antenna and I am having trouble tunning it. The base of the antenna is located about 6' above the ground. At 14.0 MHz the SWR is 1:1...
My suggestion is to use an antenna analyzer if available. The other is that if you adjust the director, always adjust the reflector. Also make sure you ends...

The guys on the HEX reflector all agree the following... Driven Element = 6180/Freq Reflector = 6262/Freq Tip Space (Driven Element) = 102/Freq Tip Space...
So that would make the antenna about 36 feet across? Maybe that's why 20 is about as big as they get. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New...
Hello Tom, I have calculated (EZNEC) and built versions for 40m (details in posting 1986), 40/30m (posting 1996), 40/30/20m (posting 2000), 40/30/20/17m...
Are the big ones fixed? I don't see how you could rotate one much larger than 20. How are they mounted? If I understand the formulas, a 40 would require ...
Dear Paulo, 1) I'm using a 5-bander (20-10m) and a 4 bander (40-17m) homemade versions from my QTH which is far more north from you. I got all major...

Paulo, the spiderbeam is a very nice and interesting design and a fine antenna. The intention of Con (DF4SA) the developer of the spiderbeam was a light weight...
Hello, I have uploaded a few new EZNEC files to my webpage with models for bottom feeded beams for 20/17m, 20/17/15m and 20/17/15/12m. Feeding is always atthe...
Probably a dumb question, but since I have never built an antenna, I will ask it. If the resulting elements are in a flat plane, why bend the spreaders into a...
Hi - I'm in the middle of a homebrew hex project, and was wondering if there is any significant difference between top vs. bottom feeding. I am planning on...
Hi Dave, I made my home brew 5b Hex 2 years ago and it works fine since the beginning without any tunning. You can see it in photo section and in files section...
Hello Dave, yes, there is a significant difference between top and bottom loading. If you like to save your money and may be material don't work with this...
I need to correct myself. The feeding is of course not at the 20m element but on the element with the highest frequency or the bottom installed element in the...
I have been playing around with building a portable version of the hex beam. One thing I'm puzzled by is how to measure where the wires attach to the spars....
Hello Eric, what are "spars"? Is it the insulator at the element end or the connection to the center post? Holger ... hex ... attach ... on the ... attach...

That you known like spars here is known like spreaders and in reference of your question i thing is because is more easy the atachment, but i think this donīt...
