Hello all, Looking for a 40/30/20/17 hex and a 15/12/10/6 hex beam. Does anyone have the info on these or have already built these? I hope to mount these on a...
Hello Dennis, yes I have built a few of the 40-12m versions. I'm owning 2 myself, one is permanently installed and the other one is used for portable ...
Hi, I am new to this group, however many years ago when AM was the mode of transmission I worked the world on 100w from an ART-13 transmitter using a 'Bow tie'...
I used to have a 'Bow tie beam' in the attic of my apartment in 1989, it was made of copper tube and supported by a wooden frame. It was a hexbeam, just called...
I`m in agreement that for a small space (and bank balance) the 5 band hexbeam is hard to beat. Big antennas need decent support structures and expensive...
Max, Have not used a bow tie antenna, but my understanding of the bow tie antenna is that it is a fan dipole. (A dipole where you have multiple wires to ...
I'm new to the group. I'm considering adding a 6M HB to my existing antenna stack. I have a TH6 and long beams for 2M & 440. I would like to add the 6M HB...
I wouldn't bother with a Hex as you obviously have the space there, you'd be better off with a 3 ele yagi. The yagi would have better gain and front to back...
You might also want to think about the optimum height for a 6 meter beam. Higher is better for line of sight. However, if you are thinking about propogation...
I modified my 5 band Hex (could not get the SWR down on some bands) for 20/17/15M with the dimensions called out in a DL7IO presentation. The SWR on 20 and 17M...
Harvey, Pruning would be ill advised. Add wire if its best swr at the high end of the band...Also you can get the amount to add by doing a simple ratio...
I live in an antenna restricted community although I have been successful with installing a Butternut Vertical and a 160-80-40 dipole I would love to have a...
Ed, I used it at 9 feet and it worked pretty well! However, getting the antenna up as high as you can get it definately helps. I think a steerable antenna at...
Hello I have a five bander on a 40 foot mast. It is bolted, and bracketed to the rear of my QTH. The brackets are about 3.5 feet apart, and go uo to the 18 ...
Hi Ed I think you`ll do fine at 20ft if that`s all the height you can manage. My hex is on an 8ft pole in the garden for now and it works pretty well ...
I spent today trying everything 40+ years of HAM radio has taught me. I tried lengthening/shorting the driven and reflector elements, and adjusting the tip...
I agree.. I had mine at 25 feet or so. I worked Europe, and Argentina the first time I fired up the rig. At 40 feet is puts out a stronger DX signal...but...

Hey, I spent 4 days trying to get my 15m SWR to play, finally found it to be the RG213 I was using, I swapped it out and hey presto, all was OK after a little...
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who has run into this problem on 15m. I'm using about 10ft of RG-58 from the 20M feed point (top feed) with a ferrite...
Hi Harvey, I used Holger`s measurements for a 5 bander,the only differences were #14 flexweave and i added 100mm foldback at the end of each half element (just...
