Folks, I guess this Broadband topic is proving to be a bit boring for some of you, but I got some results today that really excited me and I wanted to share...
Steve: I certainly can't speak for others, but I feel that anyone who has taken the time and built a hexbeam is very interested in your work. Unless there were...
Jed, Thanks for the supportive comments. Yes, I'm using a single #16 wires for the Reflector and Driver. The bandwidth is coming from the "low Q shape", not...
That's very interesting Steve, been following for a while. What happens if the driven element is made the same shape? I know the size will grow slightly in the...
Jim, Not much improvement in Gain or F/B, and the matching gets more difficult. In my view it's not worth the further size increase, and the probable need for...
Dale, That's a tricky one .... my apologies if I've "unsettled" folk who are in the middle of a build. It's probably going to take me at least another week to...
Ok on Gain / F/B, and the mechanics do get difficult. I'm very interested, my beam has been up for 3 years now and i've only ever replace 1 spreader, I use...
Steve: Your suggestions below on how to "extend" the spreaders should be helpful for myself and others. As far as "unsettled" goes, I just finished rebuilding...
Is it a Hexbeam? A rose by any other name would have the same SWR. I think I'll call mine The Hunter. It caused me to revisit Cebik's "A Tale of 4 Beams"...
Steve: Congratulations on the hybrid hexbeam or hex beam Pro. This certainly is a quantum improvement in performance with very little added to the physical...
Steve, I sent off my last post without out asking another question I was mulling over. I note the only downside is the 'extra 14" of horizontal space' that the...
Steve: I have to agree with Jed and thank you for all your hard work on the Hex-beam. I haven't taken the time yet to build one but you can be assured that I...
Steve, Kudo's on the new discover, so far it certainly looks like a winner. May I suggest it be called the CW Hex from the shape. Later Brad N1NPK [Non-text...
Hi Steve, I think it`s a hexagon so it must be a hexbeam and like most must applaud the sterling work you are doing with it`s ongoing evolution. It`s a pity...
Leo, I think the modelling has given me a pretty good idea of the optimum dimensions, but there's nothing like checking out the real thing (as I'm sure Mike...
Brad, Nice idea - it certainly describes the new shape well. But would the "non-morse" operators mistakenly think it only operates at the bottom of the band ;)...
Stephen, My initial reaction is that there will be some significant performance degradation. I did a lot of modelling last year on various compact dipole...
Hi Steve, Agin some good thoughts, what happens if we pull each of the 3 flat sides back towards the centre just enough to maybe half the difference in size?...
Hi everybody. This is Mike, WC0L in Wichita, KS. I live in a CCR community. I have a huge attic on my house and I have several antennas up there and they...
Dale, You've hit the nail on the head - the problem with the "shallower" shape is that the elements get closer together. This can already be an issue between...
Hello all: Maybe this is somewhat premature, but it seems to me we need to come up with a new designation for Steve's new design. Here are a few ideas that...
"Hex- teriminator" 73 JohnB ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Here`s a few more, Hextreme Beam, I quite like "The G3-T-Hex-Q" in recognition of all Steve`s work and does have a ring to it hi, or perhaps just a simple ...
Folks, I had a quick look at the 10m/12m spacing sensitivity on EZNEC this afternoon. The performance figures I shared with the Group yesterday were based on...
Folks, I dismantled the current test Hex this afternoon and rebuilt it with an "extension" at the base of each of the spreaders. You may be interested in the...
