Tom, If you're a "purist" you might also want to note that removing the other 4 bands tunes a 17m monobander high by about 50KHz. You probably wouldn't notice...
Thanks for the responses and the info. I threw together a 17 m broadband monobander using 96" strips of 1" X 1" urethaned pine strips with a plywood hub since...
I did a search and couldn't find a answer, so I've turned to the group. Hopefully I'll be able to test the broadband hex tomarrow. I have a SteppIR BigIR...
Bruce, I've modelled a few situations like this. In each case there has been very little coupling between the horizontally polarized Hex and the nearby...
Bruce, I forgot to add that it'd be real interesting to get the Hex in the air and then monitor its SWR as you extend the Stepper. The absence of any...
Tnx Steve. Maybe I should be more concerned with the vertical coupling with the hex on 40M hihi. We can see what's going on today (hopefully) as we finish the...
Would love to catch you on the ANZA net, 14.183 at about 0500Z I am there on my days off and would love to do a hex to hex.. 73, Ed NX7TT ... From: Ted...
Hi Ed, my Traffie HX-5Bi was hoisted up yesterday, it is at 36ft, I could have a listen on 14.183 tomorrow also , would be great , rgds Dennis VK4SX. ... ...
hey Ted, my HX5Bi had to go on a FIXED 36ft tower ahahah, i got pictures of huge scaffolding construction, the thing is light, but a pig to move about in...
I have all the parts to build my 5 band (20-17-15-12-10) broadband Hex-beam. I have that wonderfully cut base plate from Rich KC8RPD, and the new Max Gain...
Has any one heard of or seen a Hex for 2 M and 6M? Am looking into building one and was wondering if any one has already tried it. Also is there someplace...
Noel, A few observations on what you are proposing: 1) Several folk have added a 6m capability to the 5-bander by stringing the 6m wires below the 10m wires; I...
Joe, I have built a 3 ele hexbeam for six meters and it works really well. You can see the details at: http://wb3bel.googlepages.com/3elHex.pdf But, I think...
Joe, A 6m Hexbeam sitting above a 2m Hexbeam in the "usual" type of support structure is certainly possible. But as Harry says, on 2m you would probably want...
There are much easier methods of building a 2 meter antenna, than going thru the hexbeam design. For instance, I built antennas for both 2 meters and 440 that...
Steve, Do u have the measurements for a broadband 40m/30m from the shack of WB5AAA 73 de JIM A 40m version is roughly twice as big as a 20m version, so the...
Hi Harry Its good to see hexbeam hybrids getting built and tested. Just for curiousity I built the broadband "square" format (<5ft square) 2 element for 6m and...
Agreed.. The Hex has it's place, a relative hi-po "small foot print" design. If I had the room, I think a SteppiR is the way I would go. I am not knocking the...

Hey, thats a much shorter boom than the Quagi has on 6. Do you have a URL for that one? Danny Douglas N7DC ex WN5QMX ET2US WA5UKR ET3USA SV0WPP VS6DD N7DC/YV5...

Hi Ed NX7TT and Dennis VK4SX Well I listened on the ANZA Net but condx were absolutely horrid here both from a signal point of view and QRM from some very...
Dennis, Glad you got the beam up..it ought to do you well... because of work I will not be able to listen in on the net till Sunday night my time or 0500...
Steve: I do have a confusion: I belive that the reflector should be al least 5% longer than the Director.You gvive the Director as 438X2=876" 0r 73 feet. And,...
Virgilio, No, these dimensions are correct. On my Broadband design the Reflector is shorter than the Driver. Although the Driver is longer, it's "bent" shape...
Later this year I hope to re-work my web site to give greater emphasis to my new broadband design. At the moment it features in only 4 out of my 27 Hexbeam...
For 15 and 10 meters, I am looking at the stealthy lightweight partner to my HXL-20. If someone has one, how high is it mounted for good performance? I have...
