Hi all, i'm looking for a good logging program which point out the location on a map of the prefix ( as i don't know many for the moment...)if possible for...
... Try DX4WIN, LOGIC, or LOG WINDOWS. They all have this feature, but you must pay a small fee for them. This is a real business for each of these companies...
Hello all, I have uploaded an excel file which is in my opinion more helpful than model files. The model for a multiband array is very complex and has more...
Hello, I am kg4nmr, I am interested in building a hexbeam for 17m. How do I calculate the specifications to build the beam. Is there a good website that shows...
Hi Folks, I have had a number of you comment that the lack of a really specific time to check the Hex-Beam frequencies is not working out. I also have asked...
Barry: Once again, you have demonstrated why you are known as the OWO (Old Wise One). The suggested times and the offsets for each band make sense and should...
Tnx Holger, have downloaded it and been playing wit hit. As it is my first log program , I'm still looking to find my way around. But it looks great and has...
Hi Barry ( OWO ) ( sorry i didn't mention your title earlier... Looks good to me ( Europe that is , it will be a problem for working the east I suppose , but...
Hello Hexbeamers: "Yankee Doodle" reporting: In case you missed it, see the web page below from QRZ.com. It contains some postings and discussions about...
Hey Tom, Interesting comments. The one by "DocRF" where he states that Mike "copied" the Hex-Beam from the reversed (opposed) M-beam indicates to me that he...
Greetings. I placed an order for the Hexbeam 5-bander yesterday. (aside: friendliest phone call I have ever had). I also ordered the telescopic pole as a...
Congratulations Paul! My answers are in the text below. 73, Barry - W4WB ... in ... one ... Sure. Get one with the degrees on it if you can. ... ACE Harware...
I am homebrewing a hexbeam, and I was not aware of any specific ways to feed it. Is it anything that you could clue me in on? -Guy anchors.... I used some 48...
Thanks again, Barry, for your help. Two follow-up questions. 1) I am not sure what "sure" means. Is it, I hope,sure I can use a Channel Master? My fault for...
Thanks for the suggestions on guying. 8x is fairly lossy stuff. (1.9 dB at 28 MHz compared to 1.2 MHz for 213 and 0.64 for 9913 -- all per 100 ft). When I...
Correction......... Barry recommends the #77 toroids in lieu of a coax balun. These are slid onto or clipped over, if you use the split version, the coax just...
Tony, Yes, this has been discussed in the past and is in the archive. In short, run the coax between the reflector and the driven elements on the shield side....
Paul, Sorry about the clarity of my reply. Sure meant the Channel Master. I used one with FB results until recently when I change to a CE-45-II because I need...
Paul, There are baluns and there are baluns. I expect that what Traffie was discussing was the impedance conversion type, i.e., say 30 ohms to 50 ohms. This...
Hey Herb, cut that OWO out! I'm not old (ask me) nor wise (ask XYL), but I am "one." Hmm... "A Station of One!" Nope, sounds like an Army of One and I am...
Hi all, I am contemplating putting up a HX-5Bi at my QTH. But I'm also very attracted to the Lighning Bolt 2L 5-Band Quad. Have any of you OMs done direct...
Very helpful, thanks again, sir. I buy my ferrite at Palomar Engineers. They routinely carry 43,73, and 77 in various sizes. Paul ab0si ... balun ... the ... ...
FB Paul, but beware that (for whatever reason) they seem to push Type 43 for HF. Also, there are also different qualities, i.e., all ferrite beads are not the...
Chris, I used the Lightning Bolt 2L 5-Band Quad for several years. It was hung atop my tower around 65-foot AGL. Performance was excellent. Very quiet Good...
Funny, I translated "OWO" as "O Wierd One" ... :) Have fun, de N5NW/8 (Marty) Bellbrook, Ohio ... From: "w4wb" <w4wb@...> To: <hex-beam@yahoogroups.com> ...
Barry, Are you still using the #43 from All Electronics? Or did you change them out? I want to get up on the tower before winter sets in and place some...
Hi Ren, I got a number of Type 43 from All Electronics (cheap), but I never really used them. I had a 12-bead balun on the coax at the bottom of the mast...
