... Hi Marek just hit the link from your message site came straight up could be a broswer problem your end anybody else had problems ? regards Bob G1egl...
Barry you are quite correct. My apologies for any who have been slighted. Clearly we deserve the same from the originator of this disagreement. Bruce...
About a year ago, I came across a web-page with instructions on how to homebrew a 40 meter hex beam antenna. However, after having had my harddisk reformated...
Marek, Sometimes when you open your browser and get an error, the browsers memory, or cache remembers that cache and you get the same error. Sometimes a few...
Hi Folks: Last week my Hex suffer a light dammage due a hail storm, so need to put down and fix it, but want to take advantage of this and I was thinking in...
I spent the last couple of days putting up a rotatable 20m dipole so that I could do some A/B switching against my Hexbeam and make an assessment of its...
Hi Steve, Nice experiment. May I ask a few questions please? 1. Did you receive a SSB or CW tone signal? 2. Since you made about a dozen measurements each on...
Hi Barry, 1. Mostly CW, but also some SSB because I wanted to get a spread of frequencies throughout the band. Of course, it was more difficult to get a...
Steve - As a hex wannabe (there are poles in the back yard) I can't say enough about how good it is to read some really objective stuff about gain - I wish...
Steve, This A/B comparison brings to mind some DF/Foxhunt techniques in which two antennae are switched rapidly (using solid state switching, perhaps PIN...
Scott, My measurements to date have made on a mixture of stations - 16 European and 15 North American; I've not yet seen any obvious differences in Gain...
Russ, Thanks for the PIN diode switching idea - I'll look into that. I experimented with another idea this afternoon. I have two Ten-Tec Corsairs, so I...
Change in plans on antenna project. I have all the materials in order to build a 6-band hex beam 6m-20m. The following is the list of items: 6-136" spreaders...
I've been continuing my measurements and now have a total of 522; the average Gain is still 3.5dB. Interestingly the "plus and minus one sigma" values are...
Well, I've got all my materials and have begun construction of my G3TXQ Broad-bander. (I've seen these messages before! After numerous years, now it's my...
Bob, Your memory is good! A "classic" 5-bander has a better VSWR characteristic than a "classic" monobander because of complex interaction between the...
AB-577 surplus military masts have been hard to find in recent years. These masts make superb, no-climb 50' supports for Hex Beams. I was looking for a part...
"They also have AB 1386 Telescoping 33' Masts as well, but I'm not sure if this mast is sturdy enough for a Hex Beam (although it appears to be at least as ...
Hi Frank, I heard your signal this morning on 20 meter band when you were talking to Masa, JE1LET (very good friend of mine). The band was not in good shape...
Hi Koichi, thanks for the report. Yes I was on the hex with about 1kw and it was tough on the band. I also look forward to a hex to hex contact maybe this...
Anybody in the Baltimore/DC/Eastern Shore/Phil area want to share expenses to go get a military mast? Paul in Maryland K3PG Paul Gerhardt pgerhardt@......
Hi guys! I've just added a new photo showing my homemade broadband hex 10-12-15-17-20 mt mounted during a local hamvention here in north Italy. I was very...
Hi Manny looks good hope to work you Hex to Hex sometime now my homebrew Broadband 6 band Hex is finished and working well thanks for your help Steve Regards...
