Hello, if you work some of the VU4AN/VU... than there is a good chance to have a hexbeam on the other side as well. The Polish guys and DL7DF/DK1BT have...
Hi, The wx here in Idaho is finally getting to where I can put up the antenna...I would like a few of the toroids if the offer is still on. I will be more than...
Yes, I still got a few. Let me know how many you need. The large ones are $2.25 each and the small ones are $1.50 each. The larger ones fit over 9913 type...
Hello Riaan, Files-->DL7IO->ReflectedW_6m.pdf I have done a simulation for another ZS-HAM about 1.3 years ago(see message 2295). As I have no 6m license...
Why bother! a regular yagi is so small on six!...The hex has no advantage here...A 3 element yagi will fit into the same space practically and have better ...
Mike's point is a good one if you are thinking of a six meter monoband hexbeam. It would be more productive to just build a Yagi. But if you are building a...
... I've heard of some strange things but none so strange as lotteries for 6m licenses. I can only imagine the Greenies have considered that too much RF at 6m...
Just got in some of the very best extra heavy duty toroids usable in RFI suppressions. These are snap-on ferrite toroids. They fit very well over 9913 or RG8...
Just a note to say I have the beam up...it is at 20 ft at the moment... will be up to 40 shortly.. 1st station worked V73RY after 3rd call...then UN9IO 1st...
Hello Dick, we have only a limited number of licenses for 6m (I guess around 7000 for 80000 HAM's) and the user status in this band is secondary as there are...
I couldn't help admiring your pics in the photos section. You are truly lucky to have a floating QTH! I noticed the rotor is awfully big though. Do you have...
Hello Holger .................... Thanks for the explanation ! ! I would have thought that in DL, the old low-band TV would have been forgotten by now. ...
Hi Guys Looking at homebrewing a Hexbeam. I want to put a 2M/70cms Diamond vertical above the Hexbeam and run the coax down the reflector side of the mast. Has...
Looks like Holger will get to test his 6m hexbeam :-) Finally very good news from DL: In July the 6m band will be released generally to all radio amateurs in...
I too would like to add 6 meter elements to my 5 band hex. Can I also get the dimensions? Did you feed it separately? Spacing on the poles, etc. Any help...
Terry, I have added 6 meters to my five band hexbeam and it is fed with the same coax that feeds the other bands, and at the top of the post. SWR curves look...
Hi all, I would like to construct a 4 band Hexbeam to cover 20/15/10/6m and don't need the 12m and 17m bands as I don't have a Rig that covers those...
Hey Darren, the new law is not confirmed yet and still in the negotiating phase but probably will be coming until summer. So I first have to try to find a...
Hello Holger ............. Aisea still in the same place and active mostly on 'phone. I think he is on this group so may contact ypu direct. Cheers. Dick....
Hi all, I'm fairly new to the group. I am going to be buying or homebrewing a Hexbeam sometime before winter sets in, from what I gather, this antenna is the...
Elijah, I've been using the commercially made 5 band Hexbeam for 5 years. My installation is a bit unusual as I have the rotator mounted a few feet off the...
... installation...tower, short mast, and rotator in/on the tower then the G-800DXA should be fine. ... Would the Yaesu G-450A work? I live in Minnesota, we...
Well I dont know about a hex beam but, I have a 450a on a vhf/uhf stack with a 4 ele 6 13 ele 2m and 10 ele 432 with a commet gp15 ontop for two years here in...
Not sure. If the G-450A is mounted in a tower with a short mast I would think yes. However, I tend to be conservative on these thiings and prefer to "over...
For what it is worth I use a Rohn 50 foot telescoping mast. I did away with the uppermost section( weakest) And I have it bracketed to my qth. The Hex is at 38...
I'm using the Yaesu G-450A on a 5 band hex beam. Mounted 34 feet on roof. The rotor turns a 3 ft section of mast going into the antenna base. No problems. Tom...
your gonna love this .... ive got a mosley tri band on a 40 ft push up pole 30 ft up with an aliance rotor , no problums ;-) ;-) ... From: "Transpacific"...
