Hi, I have decided to go with a Hexbeam instead of a StepIR or Quad. Problem is, the push up mast I use to support it has to be able to tilt over so I can...

Hi Tom It can be done, but watch the top section. If you tilt it, the rotor and Hex weight can bend the thinner top section. The best way to tilt it, if you...
My G3TXQ Broadband Hexbeam is now up and operational, built per K4KIO instructions on his website. MANY thanks to Steve and Leo (and MaxGain). In case Steve...
Agree with John, if using a push-up mast, the top section can easily be permanently bent if tilting up from ground level. Also agree that Hex beam will need...
Yes.. That was a set up I used , prior to my Roof tower. The mast was a push up 50 foot. The top section was discarded, leaving 40 feet, It was bracketed to...

Hi Gordon, No, unfortunately tilting makes no difference to the take-off angle, either with a Hexbeam or any other HF beam with a small number of elements....
